Do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky?

TALKING TO THE MOON Living with a chronic illness is an act of redefining geography. With endometriosis, the body ceases to be a familiar home and becomes a contested territory, a map where pain carves invisible borders that profoundly reshape identity, daily life, and self-perception. As an artist navigating this condition, my work explores the tension between the internal landscape and its external representation. A Cartography of Pain Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting 1 in 9 women and gender-diverse people, acts as a silent geological force. Tissue similar to the uterine lining colonizes areas outside the uterus, creating a topography of pain, fatigue, and suffering. Though this metamorphosis remains largely invisible and misunderstood, it redraws the boundaries of being: illness is not merely biological, but a social and political landscape that dictates how we inhabit the world and how we are perceived. This project questions how identity is formed when pain is the constant terrain beneath one’s feet. How can a submerged territory be translated into a visible language?
