Diving Bell And The Butterfly
On December 8, 1995 at 43, Jean-Dominique Bauby, the editor in chief of Elle suffered a massive stroke and his brain stem was rendered inactive, his life was changed forever.
Forced to adjust to this unique perspective, Bauby created a new rich world by looking into himself to find the only two things that weren’t paralyzed, his imagination and his memory. At the Maritime Hospital in Berck-Sur-Mer, in Nord Pas de Calais France he was taught an alphabet, a code in the order of the most frequently used letters in the French alphabet. This alphabet unlocked the prison of Jean-Dominique’s body, which he called his Diving Bell, and travelled the borderless regions of freedom that he called the Butterfly.
