Herculean Effort by Words As Medicine
Sculpture
Artist statement: Herculean Effort is a sculpture depicting the great effort it takes to move one's body when you live with ME/CFS. Any movement - whether it be rolling over in bed, sitting up, standing, or walking - feels as if you are fighting against the weight of a thousand stones.
Christina Baltais is a visual artist from Toronto, Ontario. She's lived with ME/CFS for the past 18 years, and uses her artwork to help process and communicate her experiences. She uses photography, collage, and sculpture to explore the intersection between art and advocacy.
