Well, Well, Well

Amputee Victim of Landmine, Peter Turnley, 1989, Kabul, Afghanistan, https://library.artstor.org/#/asset/24691990;prevRouteTS=1603299100554.

I felt that this image captured beautifully the purpose of this exhibition. There is the idea that wellness comes in many form. Some may be well physically, or appear well to the naked eye, but be struggling mentally. Others may appear physically unwell, but inside they are growing and adjusting to their illness. I think this image of a man with one prosthetic leg and crutches, enjoying an active game of soccer, shows a sense of growth and wellness. While he may not always appear well, the ability to adjust and adapt is apparent bringing him a sense of content and wellbeing.
