My Foundation

A skeletal structure stands resilient in an open field, framed by dense woodland under a dramatic sky. For the artist living with chronic illness, it is the ever-present blueprint of a life that was, or a future longed for, constantly being built and rebuilt. It represents the fluctuating nature of health, where the foundations of comfort and normalcy can feel both solid and ethereal. The open spaces highlight the unseen battles, the invisible symptoms, and the deep yearning for a 'home' within one's own body that feels stable and complete. The landscape also signifies hope and the continuous construction of identity and resilience, even when the full structure remains a daily endeavor.
