I Think I’m in Pain

Frustration, anger, and sadness are just a handful of the emotions those with chronic pain may experience. The pain that I have been personally experiencing in my lower back has been accompanied by these, as well as by feelings of confinement and isolation. It is quite a jarring experience to go from feeling almost no pain to being unable to move, and, while difficult at times, capturing my journey of getting treatment for my pain has felt important to me. The images shown below ultimately aim to highlight the wide range of emotions that come along with experiencing chronic pain, in a way that builds from one photograph to the next.
