Inspired by The Spoon Theory, an essay written by Christine Miserandino, explaining how people with chronic illness and disabilities possess less energy and must spend more to complete everyday tasks, using spoons as a metaphor for energy. Hanging crystal spoons represent the fragility of my body as I maintain balance between my creative drive and physical limitations due to fibromyalgia and chronic pain. The broken spoons beneath signify times I have pushed myself too far, resulting in a broken body. Together, they are a reminder that rest is important in order to rejuvenate the body and soul.
