"One of the things you notice after you get sick is the way conversations start to change. All of a sudden every conversation is about "What's wrong." The bandages, braces, casts and collars, the accoutrements of illness becomes the star of the conversation. It is hard enough for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses to rectify their own internal feelings about the changes their bodies have gone through without having constant external reminders that they are no longer the same. These pieces seek not only to reclaim control of how the world sees people with injuries, but empowers those of us to reclaim control of our lives and thus transform the conversation into a positive."
