I Fracture People In Photoshop To Help Me Process My Own Medical Issues

I can see how some might think these pictures seem sexualized. After all, everything is nowdays. And a few seem...faintly that way to me. But mostly I see myself. Beaten down by constant pain. Withdrawn from those who don't and never will understand how debilitating so many conditions can be. Just so weary of the day to day struggle of trying to live some kind of life. I can very much see what it is you are trying to express. You capture it well.

As a chronic pain sufferer, I identify with these images on a very deep level. I feel like any of these photos are the me that's on the inside, though I'm wearing a suit that shows an undamaged body and a smile. No one knows the pain I suffer every minute of every day, because I don't allow them to see it. The burden is mine to bear.

Beautiful work - well done.

Mind-blowing!

I love this! Amazing job

Dark and disturbing especially #4

I have to agree with Bridgette here. I have fibromyalgia, and on top of this, I am recovering from surgery for a broken ankle. I know and understand chronic pain. What I can't understand is why, instead of average looking humans experiencing pain, you have taken beautiful women, put them in submissive and sexualized positions, and proceeded to use the trope of women posing in a sort of "beautifully tragic" contortion that makes their torture look sexual. I find it interesting that you chose to make it look like these women have gashes in their skin, as if they've been mauled by Jack the ripper, and that their wounds have been left to blacken and rot (indicating lack of medical care), as opposed to showing the tension and sensations of ongoing medical issues. I find it even more interesting that these women don't look like they're in pain from a medical condition, they just look insecure and preyed upon. That might be an enlightening comparison, if they weren't naked and sexualized.
