Fill The Silence Project

Fill the Silence Project is my answer to my final fourth year major project brief. Cancer has the tendacy to scare people off leaving patient's, like myself feeling lonely and isolated. This project aims to continue communication between friends and patients by showing patients why and how to give permission to talk to them or about cancer. We all know cancer's shit but what's shittier is when it stops your friends from talking to you.

Please excuse the extreme exposure in the photographs. These were the best I could do with the positioning of my project.
 
 
I would like to thank:
 
James Allen for the emotional and creative support throughout the entire project.
All the other patients who allowed me to discus my project with them 
and supported me through the entire project.
CanTeenNZ for their interest and support, both emotionally and financially.
All of my friends who weren't afraid to talk openly with me once I gave them permission.
