Fabulous portraits of people with chronic illnesses

Portraits of people in watercolors, overlaid with plants or structures that symbolize their illnesses. I love the title page portrait of a sitting woman with her limbs emerging from a much smaller decrepit house. Each portrait has its own page describing the person's illnesses and why they chose the symbols to represent them. Beautiful and powerful.

Symbolic and rather viscerally rendered, so as to make it fairly clear what it's like to have the chronic illness to that person.
