Parts to a Whole

My pain is a very personal inspiration that I don’t share often, it has always felt like a solitary fight -- me versus the pain. I knew I needed to find a larger group of people who have the same types of pain that I do and be able to find a community. Community is important to picture the overall struggle and the frustration and one method to display this group's frustration is making an installation that shows each part growing into the whole, parts are the individual people and the whole is group of people that live with chronic pain.
