Glistening Eulogy

In this piece, the eye depicted wears a simulated smile and tear-shaped diamonds, epitomizing the struggle between perceived joy and hidden sorrow. This piece serves as a powerful representation of Joëlle's personal journey through struggles with PTSD, anxiety, tragedy, loss, and autoimmune diseases. The artificial tears are both a part of her narrative with Sjögren's Syndrome and a symbol of suppressed pain. This orchestrated reality expresses a duality within a manufactured image and underlying struggles.
