​

​​An auto-etnographic book of short essays that deals with the topics of illness and resilience, and explores how they relate to artistic creation. Next to drawing from my own experience as a chronically ill person, I include perspectives of different writers, artists and thinkers who I could relate to the topic of illness - whether directly, or in a broader sense.
