Untraced Land (Triptych)

By Lyndsay Martin 2024

Untraced Land (Triptych) explores the often-invisible emotional terrain of chronic illness. By blending the rigid structure of medical literature with uncanny abstract imagery, the work mirrors the dissonance between external symptoms and internal experience. This juxtaposition reflects the surreal and disorienting nature of living with illness. 

This is the beginning of an anthology documenting my life with Multiple Sclerosis. The artwork does not aim to offer resolution. Instead, it embraces uncertainty, time, and vulnerability—preserving space for interpretation and interpersonal resonance. In doing so, it invites viewers not only to witness but to connect with the emotional contours of illness, whether through empathy, recognition, or reflection.
