In honour the 50th Anniversary of the Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy (OSOT), the department commissioned a wonderful painting, called “Contemplating Life,” by Robb Dunfield.
Robb – who paints with his mouth – was paralyzed from the neck down after falling from a balcony at the age of 19. After spending more than seven years of his life in hospital, Robb was one of the first high-level, ventilator-dependent quadriplegics to live outside a hospital. Now a renowned artist, motivational speaker and disability activist who inspires those around him to live a full and rich life, he credits his occupational therapists with helping him to develop a vision for happiness beyond the hospital walls.
Your gift will advance research in occupational science and occupational therapy. It will fund student research projects that help to provide evidence for the value of occupational therapy assessment and intervention, as well as studies on occupation-based discoveries for improving health and well-being. With your help, UBC occupational scientists and occupational therapy students will be able to expand the evidence-base for the profession.
"Contemplating Life"
“The painting was inspired by the thought of looking at the future when we are younger and getting excited about the many possibilities in front of us. I imagine that we have all spent an afternoon with a friend or family member, sitting in an open space and contemplating our dreams and really believing that “the world is our oyster” and we just need to decide what paths we want to explore.
The therapists that I have been involved with over the past 33 years have always been very giving, understanding and very focused on making a difference in someone’s life who has gone through a very dramatic change. This is why I chose to use a subject matter of two girls, as they represent the many, many individuals that have helped and potentially represent those who might choose to become a part of this amazing profession.”
– Robb Dunfield
