This work aims to bring awareness to the challenges faced by women with endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 10 women. Despite the incredible ability of a woman's body to create life, it can also cause immense pain. Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterus lining grows outside of the uterus, leading to inflammation, cysts, and chronic pain. Unfortunately, it is often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed altogether due to a lack of awareness. Women with this condition face daily battles, trying to live a normal life while concealing their pain, often with feelings of shame. To make matters worse, the medical profession dealing with it is male-dominated. This work seeks to break the silence surrounding pain and give a voice to those who feel unheard, highlighting the lack of understanding of a woman's pain. It alternates between beauty and pain, with the body fighting to take control of the daily conflict of chronic pain.
