Julia Howe, one year (PEOPLE 2023)

This photograph represents one year of medications, one year of chronic illness, one year of countless medical appointments, one year of sick days, one year of being unable to work. One year... The figure in this image is surrounded by pill packets, overwhelmed by them. This image is a documentary of my own experiences. And of my sister’s who is the subject of the image.
