For many women living with autoimmune disease, the first diagnosis is not a diagnosis at all. It is Anxiety, Stress, and Psychosomatic. These are often the words women hear before anyone looks deeper, before the blood work, before the scans, before the referrals, and before someone finally believes them. The title Stop It! A.S.A.P. carries two meanings. It speaks to the urgency women feel as their bodies continue to change while they search for answers. At the same time, it reflects the message so many women receive from family, friends, and even medical professionals: stop worrying, stop crying, stop overthinking, stop making such a big deal out of it, stop imagining things. As if illness were a choice. The women in these portraits are strangers. They found this project through random social media connections and have never met. They come from different countries, cultures, races, professions, and generations. Their lives are entirely different, yet they share two experiences. They live with autoimmune disease, and many were first told their symptoms were caused by Anxiety, Stress, and Psychosomatic before receiving an accurate diagnosis. This work was created as a companion piece to The Pink Gene, giving meaning to its color language. In The Pink Gene, the black and white portraits represent women living with autoimmune disease. The pink portraits represent the women who were first labeled A.S.A.P. before their illnesses were recognized. The pink is not about femininity. It represents dismissal. It marks the space between becoming sick and finally being believed. Standing in front of The Pink Gene, viewers are not simply looking at one hundred portraits. They are looking at a pattern. One woman being told her symptoms are anxiety can be dismissed as an unfortunate experience. One hundred strangers telling the same story cannot. Together, these works ask a simple question: What if the pink was never the disease? What if the pink represented the diagnosis women were given before anyone looked for the real one?
