“Frozen Food is a piece about the realities of my everyday life. I wanted it to show other people a glimpse of what I go through. How I have to go about life, especially after my close-to-death encounter. I have a deathly allergy and almost lost my life to anaphylaxis (3 EpiPens, epi drip, oxygen mask, cardiac arrest twice, intubation, ECMO). This piece is a reminder to myself, and a wake-up call to others, about how easily food can kill me and others with severe allergies like me. I hope through this piece others will understand the struggle — understand that I must be wary of everything I eat, even in my own home. That I must check and double check to make sure I won't suffocate to death again.”
