Playing around with what “off-balance” could look like in a single icon was difficult. I experimented with associations of balance with a scale, but, it wasn’t reading as intended. I continued to be inspired by people with MS describing the sensation of “off-balance” as “sea-legs”. However, when the icon was shrunk down, the sea-legs were difficult to interpret. Currently, I am exploring how already established icons of male/female figures could be shifted and twisted to embody the chaotic feeling of the off-balance symptom that comes with MS.
