Margaret Durow
When Margaret was 5, they discovered a tumor in her lumbar spine that caused it to curve over time, resulting in severe scoliosis. After complications in a later surgery, went long periods of time where she was unable to stand or leave the house, and had more surgery which lead to more impairments. She turned to photography in this difficult time.
“Photography allows me to express how I feel, and transform the pain and isolation of my deformed and disabled body into beauty and strength,” she writes. “I try to mirror what I feel inside when I capture the subtle changes in light, mood, and landscapes around me. I take pictures to remember how I feel, and I hope they make you feel something personal for yourself.”
