Study of Perthes. Perthes is a rare childhood condition where the blood supply to the head of the femur is temporarily disrupted which leads to bone cells dying off in a process called avascular necrosis. This leads to an excruciating pain in the child during walking and exercise and also leads to uneven development of the hip/leg.

Stills. The animation was made collaging the artist’s sketchbooks and fitting their observations through a life in a day scenario

Medical illustrations made in the same aesthetic as the notebooks
