Warrior of the Week

These inspiring individuals with Visual Snow Syndrome are sharing their experiences living with this condition and how they try their best to overcome its symptoms everyday.

Spotlight on:

Zykia Moore

My name is Zykia Moore, a 36 year old artist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I was diagnosed with Visual Snow Syndrome on November 24, 2025, after developing symptoms following blunt force trauma earlier that year. Living with VSS has been overwhelming, but I chose to turn my experience into something meaningful through art.

This original artwork tells the story of living with Visual Snow Syndrome. Through symbolic imagery, glitter, and textured elements, it represents many of the symptoms associated with VSS, including visual static, double vision, after images, tinnitus, migraines, insomnia, and other visual disturbances. My hope is that this piece helps others better understand an invisible condition that is often misunderstood.

Original Artwork – Asking Price: $1,500.00

I am honored to donate 20% of the proceeds ($300) from the sale of this artwork to the Visual Snow Initiative. I hope this contribution helps support continued research, awareness, advocacy, and education for those living with Visual Snow Syndrome.

Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to share both my artwork and my story. It means a great deal to contribute to such an important cause. I look forward to supporting the Visual Snow Initiative in the future and would welcome the opportunity to collaborate on future awareness campaigns, fundraising efforts, or other initiatives that help bring greater understanding to Visual Snow Syndrome.
