Trapped

This was created soon after getting diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis—a systemic autoimmune illness that leads to chronic health complications, very similar to Lupus. I began getting medicated for it, and the sudden change in my body was so drastic that I felt trapped in a life sentence. This portrays the never-ending cycle of self grief that comes with a chronic illness.
