Sue Austin has been a wheelchair user since 1996, but has dedicated herself to “finding ways to understand and represent my embodied experience as a wheelchair user, opening up profound issues about methods of self-representation and the power of self-narration in challenging the nexus of power and control that created the ‘disabled’ as other.” She developed the chair with help from dive experts who installed two dive propulsion units on it as well as a bespoke fin to help with steering.
