"I recall full days - when we used to play catch instead of catch-up"

Slade channels poetry from her lived experiences with depression, endometriosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, derealisation, anxiety and more.

Her words speak to anyone who has felt trapped inside the medical system or lost their identity to their illness.

Inspired by the crystallised sap on trees and scenes of rain cascading down steps, Slade illustrates the transcendental effects of observing nature and what it means to find hope in the smallest moments.

"All the stars appear to be falling, a million tears of elation thawing through the cornea of Earth"

Featuring original artworks made from repurposed medical files. A truly astounding collection on the resilience of the human spirit.
