A Doctor Who Needs Help

Artist Talk - Sat 13 Aug 2022, 2.30pm

Earlier this year, an illness struck me down unexpectedly. I had to take medications that had caused significant side effects. This exhibition is a reflection of my experience.

This exhibition is to support the people of Myanmar and all profits will be donated to the Burmese Community Development Collaboration (BCDC) and the Kind Heart Foundation.

I was well before
I was seeing patients this morning

Suddenly I am sick

My body is itching
My skin is burning
My stomach is spasming
My heart is racing

I keep losing fluids
Top and bottom
My veins are flat

My chest is tight
I can’t breathe

My chest is tight
I can’t breathe

Can someone help me?
Please help me.
