DescriptionDescription by the artist: My work is all about my deafness and how Cochlear implant has, immensely, helped me to
learn, develop and cope with deafness and it’s impact on my life so far. Cochlear implant
is, kind of my interface between me and hearing world. This art work, sculptural shape, of
my Cochlear processor, is my attempt to present my deafness as my language for learning
and how my brain interprets different sounds and emotions. The whole project is also
helped greatly by the set up and training at CSM. (Please see my British Sign Language
