VISUALIZING THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE OF BLINDNESS.
Welcome to the Blind Canvas Project — we’re dedicated to creating new ways to see, understand, and share the human experience of blindness.

It all starts with a conversation.
It’s impossible to fully communicate the experience of living with blindness, but perhaps we can help more people gain a better understanding.
Each participant is invited to sit down for an hour-long interview to discuss their condition, their lives, and their perspective on living with blindness.
Using AI image generation software, we then transform key moments within each interview into expressive works of art.
Through the Blind Canvas Project, we hope to spark new conversations, spread awareness, and encourage all to realize that those who are blind are not defined by their blindness.

For Ora, this project represents our heart, as our patients are at the center of how we partner with pharmaceutical and medical device companies to bring new therapies to market. Helping them is why we do what we do every day, from our clinical trial execution to working with companies to gain new product approvals. As leaders in clinical research, Ora has a crucial responsibility to understand patient experience, and to bring that understanding to our customers and colleagues.
