Before watching Guillermo del Toro’s 2017 Shape of Water, I thought the film had a deaf character. But instead of a story dealing with deaf culture, the lead was hearing and mute. My dictionary had the hand signs for deaf and hearing, but after seeing the film, I added mute with a cartoon of young Elisa with the marks on her neck. Before finishing the illustration, I verified with my ASL teacher the correct hand positioning and movement. For the future, I might even add the Canadian variant of this hand sign.
