Since just before the new year, a dear friend has been struggling with her health after contracting a serious case of bacterial meningitis. After doctors gained control over the infection and many surgeries later--she is recovering. That means she is having to relearn everything we take for granted e.g. moving, speaking, reading, and writing. Can you imagine one day you're ok and one or two days later--you no longer seem to be you? All you can think of is how much your head hurts. Maybe your words and/or thoughts are a jumble too.
I haven't been able to process my feelings about the situation through visual art until this week. My idea was to do a story about a flower that has become ill and is trying to find it's way back to full bloom. This zine is the result of that effort.
