In 2002 at the age of fifteen I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. At the time I never really understood what this meant and ignored it for a couple of years until I became ill and was admitted to hospital. Throughout my early twenties I came to terms with the hand that I had been dealt and realised it’s not as bad as it could be. I now feel I am ready to show people this part of my life, by documenting my hospital visits and showing the experience through my point of view.
