Lost time explores my personal health journey. Making this work allowed me to reflect on difficult times, and explore my emotions that I had repressed since the traumatic process of diagnosis for my chronic health conditions during early adolescence. This work features symbolic images of memory, trauma, and nature from my familiar surroundings, which I used to process my thoughts. One of  the frustrations I face with my illness is the amount of medication I’ve tried and failed. I experimented with these discarded medicines in the darkroom, the results I feel resemble constellations, representing the hope and freedom I’ve been waiting to achieve in remission.
