The purpose of telling Jack’s story is to at once acknowledge his disability and his ability to transcend it. It is a limitation of human beings that we struggle to see beyond stereotypes and acknowledge individuals as multifaceted beings. By investigating difference with a focus on banal everyday rituals, we realise that we have more similarities than difference; it is those experiences that universally connect us. It is important to acknowledge Jack’s blindness because it is how he experiences life. However, we can choose to see it not as a limitation; but a challenge, and a valid way to engage with the world.
