"I created this piece as a way to give form to interruption—what it feels like when messages don’t arrive cleanly, when signals fracture, stall, or blur before reaching their destination. Living with Multiple Sclerosis means navigating a body where communication is unreliable. Signals misfire. Vision fades or doubles. Sensation drops out. Thoughts lose their edges. Rather than illustrate this literally, I wanted to translate it—using texture, pressure, and color to echo how information struggles to move through space. Thick layers of paint were pushed, pressed, and dragged by hand, creating raised passages and ruptures that interrupt the surface. Electric blues collide with heat—reds, oranges, yellows—like competing frequencies crossing the same channel. Some areas surge forward with clarity, while others dissolve, smear, or disappear entirely, mirroring the way perception can fluctuate moment to moment. I paint entirely with my hands. This work isn’t about observing disruption from a distance—it’s about moving through it. The paint resists, fractures, and yields, just as the body does. What remains is not a diagram, but a feeling: of effort, persistence, and the quiet insistence to be seen and remembered, even when transmission isn’t clean."
