They hold a mask for the world, fingers steady, trembling underneath. Behind it, a quiet storm. Sometimes, alone, they lift it and wonder if the face beneath was ever theirs. Their Mask by Rae Sabine #arttherapistart #maskingart #arttherapist #neurodivergentart #queerart

Silver green leaves rest together, soft as velvet in my hands. When I touch them, their calm moves through me, and I find myself settling back into the ground. Velvet Leaves by Rae Sabine #arttherapistart #arttherapist #arttherapistlife #arttherapistsart #mindfulnessart #sensorygardenart

I am past gut full, the kind of tired that settles into bone and stays, Do not mistake me for spineless, I am spine full, ever fused, segments carrying what I can no longer swallow, a body shaped by pain, by the constant weight of a world that asks too much, I do not bend, ever steadfast, for a system never built for me.

This is my Inside Outside Box. The outside reflects how I am often seen by others and includes words that can feel jarring and dysphoric to receive. It speaks to the infantilisation and femininity that are so often projected onto me. The inside reveals who I truly am, showing my love for art, nature, animal rights and more. These are the parts that are sometimes unseen unless someone takes the time to know me with care and curiosity. Inside/Outside Box by Rae Sabine #insideou

Have You Tried Exercising? They said it like a cure, as if sweat could straighten bone, as if willpower could uncoil pain. But this spine tells a different story, years of quiet wars beneath the skin, vertebrae and bones locking with time, a body learning the language of pain. I have tried everything, movement, stillness, surrender, and still it never leaves. This is not weakness or refusal, but the shape of endurance, the body’s quiet defiance, the art of staying alive. Poem

The story of a spine bound by fire and time. A glimpse beneath the surface, vertebrae locking, inflammation rising. Where fusion and flame meet, the quiet war within Ankylosing spondylitis.

Centuries have not softened the story written in bone. The spine and pelvis of a 6th-century skeleton, inspired by an image from the Ankylosing spondylitis Wikipedia page. This piece bears witness to how pain and endurance intertwine, leaving echoes of struggle long after life has ended.

A jade plant is woven within a vertebral column. A jade plant’s stems stiffen and harden into trunks as they grow, mirroring the fusion of vertebrae in ankylosing spondylitis. This piece was inspired by @unstrungstudios and reflects how painful the process of fusion can be, yet how it also exists in nature.

It doesn’t sound like much to someone who’s never felt it, one wrong word, a pronoun misplaced, like a pebble tossed into conversation. But it lands like stone. Suddenly the room is colder. The air shifts. My body stiffens. I smile to stay safe. I nod to keep things moving. Inside, I’m disappearing. It’s not just a slip. It’s an undoing, of self, of trust, of being real in front of you.
