Making the invisible visible:

A collaboration to unveil the unseen struggles of stroke survivors

Every stroke survivor has a story. It’s often one of trauma, resilience, and unwavering determination. But while survivors try to endure and rebuild, the fear of another stroke lingers. It’s a burden shared by their care partners; a quiet fight against the unpredictable.

Bayer is collaborating with six brave stroke survivors who, alongside their care partners, have opened their hearts and lives to share their journeys. Their stories reveal not just the weight of uncertainty, but also the hope and humanity that keep them moving forward. Their experiences and emotions were transformed by visual artists into six works of art. Each piece tells a highly personal story.

"Making the Invisible Visible" invites us to recognize the hidden burden stroke survivors face—and shows us the importance of giving secondary stroke another look.
