MYSTERY PATIENT (2026)

page twelve

|| cover || page eleven || page thirteen ||

a zine of digital collages made by yours truly about the journey through medical testing and prognosis of autoimmune conditions. the magazine was meant to be something to show my journey as not intriguing, but as something that I've lived with and been going through. It was aimed to be a project on my own symptoms and translating it to a wider audience. I wanted this series to read as scary and painful, because chronic illness can be just that sometimes.

the collages within this series will be printed into small artist books, if you want a copy feel free to dm me to work something out.

also, all assets were found online, text included.

How to Escape Home [And Still End up Traumatized] (2025)

acrylic paint on 40x30in stretched canvas.

an ode to nostalgia, the feelings of childhood that you didnt have because everything was to escape instability. no safety in the good zones even if they were good in your eyes. just your own pure naivity, which was not enough to protect you.

"YOU NEED TO REST" (2026)

acrylic on 20x30in stretched canvas

a painting about resting with no choice when your whole life has been filled with external and internal factors that made you feel youre not allowed to rest ever. This is what resting feels like for me. A constant wired feeling, a feeling of tearing at the sheets begging to feel rested, a festering in my chest of disarray and dysregulation. I have recently been diagnosed with Graves disease and was told I need to rest more.

I have also been living a life with CPTSD, a life I lead to myself believe as normal until I got help. I have been in a constant state of learning how to rest, I am always in a state of survival as my nervous system learned to feel threat in many states. I have been unlearning a lot, but a big thing I cannot unlearn is the shame associated with NEEDING rest. I need it! but my body wont let me have it without eating me alive with guilt for doing it, making me feel like I am causing error.

I just want to rest, but every time I do I am consumed with the ideas of what I could be doing instead of resting. It doesnt help my past has been filled with people who belittle resting. I made this painting because I needed to somehow express that I physically do not know how to rest. it never feels right. and I wish I could explain better but.. it just doesnt feel right.
