Kathryn Borbas is a 23-year old photographer and mixed media artist working towards her BFA at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Most of her work conceptually faces her nearly decade-long battle with chronic pain conditions. Exploring the perpetual struggle against ones own body, a journey towards relief from a variety of agonizing sensations, and most of all the complexities of adapting to a life with a pain so awful it never ceases. She creates work as layered and unique as the pain itself. Borbas’ work is almost exclusively made up of self-portraiture, using art as a cathartic means of examining her situation and the limitations of photography itself, describing a condition that is utterly invisible. Creating her own aesthetic language she continually challenges how pain and struggle can be visually represented.
