Thank you for your interest in
The Nightstand Collective
I have been gathering nightstand portraits since 2015. I am still learning so much about the lives of those with chronic illness. The items displayed reflect the inner pilgrimage that folks traveling with chronic conditions are on. I am endlessly fascinated by the items that are used on that pilgrimage. The nightstands are submitted from all over the world, from all walks of life, and with a range of health conditions.
Thank you for sharing your health journey with me. For many participants the experience of observing, and submitting their nightstands can be a revelatory one. Folks have reported some realizations about the way that they interact with their space, how they view their illness experience and the ways that items support them. I invite you to take some time to watch your responses to this process. Thank you so much for taking the time to create your submission. I am honored that you are sharing your nightstand story with me.
