The figure printed on the manila bookmark is outlined in purple ink and fragmented in to fozens of pieces. Surrounding them is an exaggerated lavender coffin. Lines point to some of the fragments, drawind out to a caption of what that part of the figure represents like a scientific diagram. These include Cognitive dysfunction, mast cell activation syndrome, Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, dysatuonomia, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, post-exertional malaise, post-traumatic arthritis, peripheral edema, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and cutaneous signs.

Support my Health & Art!

Healthcare in the USA is expensive. If you are able, please support me on ko-fi, or share my ko-fi & art with others. I also use the ko-fi funds to get this art into the world--application fees, materials/framing costs, shipping to & from exhibits, and of course an occasional yummy matcha. Thank you!
