Our body is a clock - Sara J. Winston

Chronic illness is often perceived as a personal misfortune and private matter, making it a taboo to speak publicly about medical diagnoses, symptoms, treatments, and the financial burden of ongoing care. My art practice debunks this notion, transforming the conventional lived experience of illness into a space for creativity, dialogue, and connection. As an artist and patient knowingly living with Multiple Sclerosis since 2014, I navigate the blurry, layered boundaries, between care and dependency, amidst vulnerability and agency.
