Blindness: A missing eye, representing the decision to avoid witnessing the world's realities and societal pressures by choosing not to see.

Asexuality: A penis, signifying the choice to abstain from sexual interactions and the complexities that come with them.

Deafness: An ear, depicting the decision to no longer listen to the noise and demands of society, choosing instead to exist in a world of chosen silence.
