This Is Me examines dyslexia and the wider effect it can have on an individual. Many people think of dyslexia as a condition that affects reading and writing; however, it can affect more than that, including eyesight, balance, organisation and speech.
Filled with hundreds of stone pieces, a stream that runs through the garden illustrates the many ideas dyslexic people have. An enclosed seating area in the garden depicts the isolation dyslexics often feel, while the poem on the back hedge illustrates the difficulties with spelling. The multi-stemmed trees in the garden represent the multiple routes open to dyslexics in their lives.
