Inspired by personal experience of pain caused by endometriosis, my work heavily features themes of loss of childhood due to disease, the experience of living with chronic illness, and the lack of support for women's healthcare issues.

This project, completed in my Third Year in the Limerick School of Art and Design, explores the theme of loss of childhood innocence due to chronic pain caused by endometriosis. The distorted figurative forms are represented in the fluorescent and neon colours of childhood, twisted and contorted into poses of torment. Reflecting on a childhood cut short by the symptoms of disease, this work represents the unseen side of invisible illness in adolescence.
