It’s the summer of 2020 and I’m coughing a lot. I go from doctor to doctor, the diagnosis is uncertain. One day I end up in hospital and a series of tests await me in the intensive care unit. It turns out that I have lymphoma and my chemotherapy starts immediately. In this disease, a group of white blood cells begin to behave like cancer cells; they grow and divide uncontrollably in the lymph nodes. I try to come to terms with this insidious disease, in sterile hospital rooms, isolated from the outside world.
The treatments weaken me: I have neither the strength nor the will to take photos. When the chemotherapy is over, I feel better. I reach for my camera to take photos again, but my thoughts still revolve around the events of the last six months. With the help of photography, I try to tell what has happened to me and how I am recovering. Summer Cancelled (2021-ongoing)
