SLEEP
Emma & Parkinson's
“It’s almost like I’m losing if I sleep... like I’m letting it win”
- Emma -
Emma is an amazing woman with Parkinson’s who is a vlogger, writer, comedian and charity advocate. I spent a day following her - she was giving one of her many TEDTalks. Though her talks are meant to be inspiring - she’s also wonderfully candid about what it’s really like to have a chronic health condition. She told me how it affects her sleep, work and even dating. I was struck by how relentlessly full she’s made her life - refusing to let her condition stop her having ‘adventures’. Once back at the hotel, we created this image, exploring her unique relationship with sleep.
