With this video, I wanted to show the process of living with a disease through the process of a road trip. The constant flow of traffic and scenery directly relate to the constant journey of a disease. The car represents my physical body. Before a trip, a car must be serviced and checked in order for the car to work properly. Medication must be prescribed and blood work must be updated in order for someone with a disease to stay healthy. The levels of the gas and speed relate to hormonal and chemical levels in the body. The video continues traveling down the road, revealing that my disease will never leave, nor will the effects.
