Annick faces the irreversible effects of Huntington's disease as a young mother. The exhibition CARBON shows a series of works created by Annick in May 2022 in the creative studio of Saint Camillus.

In a short span of time, an explosion of creativity emerges. Her work is an expression of her perseverance and finesse: the disease affects all control over movements and leads to cognitive and emotional difficulties - memory, concentration, ordering thoughts, but also depressive feelings and helplessness.

Annick draws inspiration from Frida Kahlo's portraits. A reflection of strength or a union of suffering?

Museum Dr Guislain's exhibition draws attention to Huntington's disease, a relatively unrecognised hereditary disorder that can strike mercilessly at a young age.
