All of my paper collages are made with love, it’s true, but this one (potentially still unfinished…maybe) was made with a dear friend in mind who is undergoing treatment for bowel cancer.
I don’t have any deep illuminating words to share on the matter.
It is what it is, and will be what it will be.
I’m taking the same approach to her diagnosis as she is: Cognitive dissonance. She has given all her trust to her oncology team and has requested they tell her nothing of the changing outcome so that her mind hasn’t the chance to make up a story or stories about the situation.
It is a brave and honourable perspective by a beautiful and smart soul.
