A Condition, Not a Cure
Human knowledge advances through what is documented and preserved. Yet learning often begins elsewhere, on a smaller and more fragile scale, through personal experience. These experiences are rarely recorded, dismissed as too subjective or too private, and therefore disappear.
However, lived experiences carry a density that textbooks cannot hold. They are saturated with context, emotion, and contradiction. Their value lies not in universality, but in specificity.
This work begins with a question: if suffering is inevitable, why should it remain silent or wasted? By translating my experience of illness into a tangible form, I attempt to transform private pain into a learning tool—one that resists abstraction and insists on being remembered.
