Betrayal (Abjection 6 of 8)

Betrayed by your own body is a mishmash of feelings from anger to regret and sorrow to melancholy. I never know how my body would react from day to day, never know how I will feel when waking up and never be able to trust my body to get me through tough times. The cut-up dolls embody the fragmentation and brokenness I experience with my diseased body, daily. I long for my body that was better functioning when I was younger a body that felt less fragmented and broken.
