After the Next Surgery

Sitting on a park bench, a young girl gazes down at a large stop sign—a powerful symbol of the struggles she faces. This image represents a journey through seizures and brain trauma, where each surgery is another attempt to regain control. Everyone processes trauma differently, and for this individual, seizures often triggered an instinct to run. The stop sign serves as both a literal and emotional reminder of the need to pause, to find stillness in a life marked by uncertainty.
