With “Do you want to share my pain?” I aimed to raise awareness about the invisibility of female illnesses and to empower women to share their stories and experiences without feeling ashamed or uncomfortable. Thus, I created a series of six posters featuring myself in various positions, accompanied by powerful statements such as “It’s NOT just in my head”. I included roses as symbols of fragility and the thorns as symbols of the often unseen pain. This visual representation was meant to convey the idea that while these illnesses may be invisible to others, they are very real and cause immense suffering.
This project empowered me to openly discuss my pain and validated my belief in its existence, despite its invisibility.
