Through personal stories of the women I've interviewed and photographed, Yellow Wallpaper looks at three conditions: adenomyosis, endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome and the effect they've had on a multitude of lives. Although none of the conditions are attributed to a definitive cause, multiple treatments are prescribed to patients in the hope they suppress symptoms: some help immediately, others take months to start working and come with mild-to-debilitating side-effects. The rollercoaster of doctors, hospitals, surgeries and endless lists of medicines, coupled with a new, holistic focus from nutritionists on women's hormones and a wealth of knowledge online means in some cases, a patient can be more educated on their condition than a General Practitioner, or even a Gynaecologist.

If you or someone you know is affected by these conditions, please get in touch at ioana@ioanamarinca.com .

Thank you
