Portrait of Wanda Díaz-Merced for STEM publication

Sound to Sight

Lively Scout captures blind astrophysicist Wanda Díaz-Merced for Rebel Girls and RACI’s STEM publication.

Lively Scout’s portrait of Wanda Díaz-Merced is shaped by the idea of translating data into sensation.

Commissioned for Rebel Girls and RACI’s Empowering the Future of STEM – Changemakers with Disabilities, the piece reflects Díaz-Merced’s pioneering work in sonification, where astronomical data is experienced through sound rather than sight.

The illustration anchors Díaz-Merced’s story within the publication while extending into the Good Night Stories podcast on Spotify, carrying the narrative across formats.
