Artist: Michael Keeling Age: 17 Title: Mom Media: Paint "Epilepsy feels like a maze or a puzzle," Michael says, "like I'm a rat running through a maze, trying to get to the cheese, running and running until I hit a brick wall. You take all these medicines; increase this, decrease that. It never ends. This piece of art expresses how I feel about having epilepsy-it's like a puzzle with random pieces that make it hard to solve, and it looks like it's growing and spreading or exploding when it reaches the breaking point." |
