Could also be called, “The Weight of Chronic Disease” because that’s how I immediately processed it in my brain. Oh, look, that looks like a representation of how I feel. There is the mental weight of the grief over not having the life you had & then the physical feeling of weight and deep fatigue.

Not to tell an artist how to do their art - but ok I'm about to do exactly that - I feel like the sculpture would read better if the rocks used in the legs were a darker shade than those in the arms and hands - similarly if the torso rocks were a discernible shade different from the arms and legs
