I remember reading about Marfan Syndrome in my high school biology class, the textbook featuring a picture of a skinny boy looking like a deer caught in the headlights. Since getting diagnosed at age five, I’ve been dissatisfied with the cold, clinical imagery surrounding the connective tissue disorder. Even You, Metal Back is an exploration of the intersection of physical pain, mental health, religion, and healing. A self-portrait, if you will, unearthing anxieties around corporality while living with this chronic condition.
