Project Title: Process of Healing

Medium: Traditional Photography, 35mm B&W printed on Pearl Paper

Project Description: In this project, I present the process of getting infusions for my muscle disease, as well as doctor appointments regarding my mental health. Medical environments are normal to me, and often have to be integrated into a normal day/week, as I still have to go to work and (at the time) attend school. This process is hard on my psyche and body, and I often push myself too hard, although it doesn't present obviously to other people around me (The unfortunate result of a mostly invisible illness). In this project, I bring my view of the world around me during this time as well as my view of myself to the viewer, to highlight the parts that people don't usually see of me.
