Through the Looking Glass is a mixed media exhibit, a new way of storytelling, a look at living with chronic illness. The collection is about people with the genetic illness cystic fibrosis, but the art transends chromasome mutations and resonates with universal human themes. If you look around, fray folks might notice a familiar name in the photo credits.

Through the Looking Glass is just one project of Breathing Room, a website for the cystic fibrosis community. I started this website with the hope of helping people with this illness cope through sharing their life experiences, and it has grown in content and audience. Some of the most rewarding entries are from unexpected sources, like Dr. Wm. Robinson from Harvard.
