In August 2022, photographer Muriel Verbist received the last dose of the chemotherapy she had to follow after her breast cancer diagnosis six months earlier. The immediate threat of the cancer was gone, but so were the clear guidelines and structure the chemo had provided. Feeling a need for stability, Muriel decided to document her recovery process.

Every two weeks, she made a self-portrait in her makeshift studio at home. In this ritual, Muriel found energy, courage and hope. The systematic repetition of the precise acts of photographing brought regularity and comfort. The self-portraits reveal every detail, every pore, every wrinkle in the face. The images are personal and revealing, but on the other hand, they also keep much hidden. The soft lighting, the neutral background and the expressionless face do not betray what story lies behind the photographer's gaze. Because of the conceptual approach - each of the 32 photographs is consistently composed according to the same method - all the photos look alike, but as you flip through the series, subtle changes become visible. In this way, as a viewer, you become a witness to a slow transformation, and a companion on the road to recovery.
