Little Things (I missed you)

By Adriana ESF

 

“This image is just a simple collage of three photos of my eyelashes growing back after chemotherapy earlier this year, and their negatives, which make the lashes look like bright beams (representing my excitement in their return)! Just 48 days passed between the first and third photo. Compared to a mastectomy, the loss of eye lashes is a ‘little thing’, but these little things still matter and affect the way we feel about ourselves. The fact I photographed them at all is perhaps testament of their significance to me in my body recovering from the chemotherapy drugs.”
