We See the Light" Bonita Adair Credits to Swanhilda Lily Using app: Dreamscope After Deafhood workshop, we went to the bar gathering together. Swanhilda thought the light was so perfect. She wanted us to use locative classifier: moths toward the light. We all agreed and engaged. She took the picture and shared this with Alex Abenchuchan. I hope that is his name. I decided to use Van Gogh style on that app.

"Starving of light" (French; "Affamé de lumière") Arnaud Balard Trying to survive even in the light like others moths. Being Deaflblind means fighting everyday to stay egal with others...Not to become a shadow, it's a struggle.

Death, Deaf, and Life. David Call 2016 Prismacolor pencil,ink and graphite. Deafhood Moth uses its antennae to smell the death and visit the dying Deaf person. Deafhood Moth lands on the face and uses its antennae to sense impending death. It use Deaf eyes wing to cover the Deaf persons' eyes and extract its former visual life. When the Deaf person exhale final breath, the moth sucks in his final breath of Deaf essence and its light bulb abdomen lights up with Deaf sign inside. It flies to the stars where all Deaf Souls waiting to be born. It choose a certain Deaf soul star and transfer former Deaf soul's life to the Deaf soul star. ITs light bulb abdomen turned off and went back to visit other dying Deaf person. Mother of all Deaf Souls come to pick it up and deliver it to expectant mother. Take a close look at your life and you might have several past lives in you. In 2012, I nearly died from heart condition twice, Deafhood Moth came to visit me twice and it sensed that I am not ready to go so it left. It is out there somewhere waiting for me.
