"Thyroidectomy Journey in Oil: Medications, Feminism, and Gaps in Medical Research," explores the intersection of art, personal experience, and systemic issues in the medical field. Through my work, I visually translate the reality of life without a thyroid, using painting as a way to process my journey and address gaps in medical research and healthcare. My pieces highlight how the medical system often minimizes women’s concerns and fails to account for the complexities of the female body. By elevating everyday objects, such as pills, I aim to transform them into symbols of resilience, survival, and the ongoing fight for health.
