Photograph from Samantha Rickner's exhibition

Samantha Rickner’s photographic work documents the intimate recovery process following radiation treatment and navigates spaces of isolation and uncertainty that develop while confronting the matter of mortality. Rickner uses portraiture to facilitate reflection during this transformational period that tests the human limits both physically and emotionally. The photographs address the desire to reclaim autonomy of one's own body and mind in the midst of processing denial and disconnection.
