Oviloo Tunnillie created this work after her first diagnosis of ovarian cancer and the subsequent chemotherapy treatments, around 2006. The cancer was in remission for a time, but she often mentioned feeling tired. She kept working until a second diagnosis in approximately 2012, following which she was no longer able to work.
