Body Overcomes (2023) is a project exploring a body under attack by physical illness, and the remarkable resilience of both mind and body to bounce back. From my own experiences and having cared for others struggling chronically, I have seen how one can feel like one’s body is out to get you.  While the pain serves an important role for telling the body it may be in danger, it can take aim at the need to feel in control, especially when it outstays its welcome or when medical options may have exhausted its reach. It is in this moment that treating the body with kindness, nurturance and self-love can bring some relief and make recovery seem possible.
