Scientific illustration
Aphasia (inability to communicate with words) as a result of a stroke
An article by the great, amazing Dr. Oliver Sacks
Oliver Sacks: „Brücken ins Leben“ – Aphasie nach einem Schlaganfall (“Bridges to life” – Aphasia after a stroke)
Spektrum der Wissenschaft „Gehirn & Geist 5-2006“
The subject to be illustrated was a woman who loses the ability to communicate through speech following a stroke. After an initial period characterized by hopelessness and dejection due to the resulting social isolation, she gradually acquires the ability to communicate again through gestures and facial expressions. Gestures and facial expressions form a new “language bridge” that had previously collapsed. The joy of life returns.
Oliver Sacks was a wonderful person, his books are so full of humanity and warmth that it is always a pleasure to read them. It was therefore a particular pleasure for me to illustrate an article by this great author.
