Today’s featured artist is Jewelia Aaron with her submission titled “I love you, but…”.
“Early manifestations of PCD occur in the neonatal period, as over 80% of full-term neonates with PCD have respiratory distress. These infants have tachypnea, increased work of breathing, and frequently require supplemental oxygen for a few hours to weeks (18–20). These infants are often diagnosed with transient tachypnea of the newborn or neonatal pneumonia. This neonatal presentation implies that normal ciliary function plays a critical role in the clearance of fetal lung fluid, although the mechanism is unknown. The presence of unexplained respiratory distress and radiographic abnormalities (e.g., atelectasis and/or increased perihilar/interstitial markings), along with supplemental oxygen requirements in a full-term infant, should raise suspicion for PCD, particularly in neonates with situs inversus.” ~ American Thoracic Society
The PCD Artist Project is a collaborative effort by artist to raise awareness for PCD or primary ciliary dyskinesia and support the PCD Smiles program. Each artist who submitted art work to the project either has PCD or has a PCD family member.
The PCD Artist Project’s 2021 exhibition merchandise ranges from apparel, giftware, home furnishings, and printed products such as posters, prints, wall art, and other items, all created from our exhibition; which can be viewed on PCD Smiles’s website.
