"Goodbyes are not forever, are not the end; it simply means I'll miss you until we meet again."
The Cure
For a couple of months, I've been witnessing my Father's struggle with cancer. Despite hoping that the treatment helps him get better, all I could see was his sore, weakening body exposed to poisonous substances. My intention for this project is to share the feeling of incredulity mixed with a desperate urge to believe that the treatment is successful.
Here I tried illustrating the impact of treatment. The series depicts fruits and vegetables in different phases of freshness, from fresh and healthy to spoiled and rotten. As the freshness diminishes, produce are subjected to multiple injections of non-organic fluids. The colour of the images intensifies across the series to mimic the increased intensity of therapy.
