„Exhausted“

Typical for ME/CFS is a pronounced fatigue, a disproportionate exhaustion that does not improve with sleep or rest. In ME/CFS, fatigue is particularly severe. Even mildly affected individuals experience a reduction in performance of over 50 percent. Fatigue significantly impairs the ability to manage daily life, and quality of life is greatly reduced. In very severe cases, patients are completely bedridden and may require artificial nutrition.

This post features works from our group exhibition ‘M.E. Kills,’ which explores the theme of death in the ME community.

The first artwork featured, ‘Death of Identity’ by Hannah @pappmahann , was made by digitally overlaying two photographs, capturing her feeling of losing her identity to illness.

The second work, ‘A Silent Scream’ by Alicia Pallenchier @sweet_villal_panda , is a digital drawing she created with the assistance of AI. Alicia created it to reflect the exhaustion of being unable to cry out physically and the reality of trying to speak, warn, or protest while remaining unheard or dismissed.

The third artwork, ‘Unbearable’ by Erika K @erikakiviniitty , is a poem about Erika’s own near-death experience due to a combination of severe ME and her abusive partner.

The fourth work, ‘Suffocated’ by Niko Suvisto @nikosuvisto , is a photograph that captures how it feels to have the most severe form of ME, representing a moment in Niko’s life when he felt like he was buried alive, about to suffocate.

The fifth artwork featured, ‘Gorge’ by Greta Granö @piengreta , is a digital drawing that captures her feelings from a time when her illness was getting more and more severe and she felt as if she was falling into a gorge.

The sixth work, ‘Buried Alive with M.E.’ by Anil van der Zee @AnilaboutME , is a short film created as a testament to the many people who have passed from ME/PAIS, representing how these deaths were preventable, often caused by neglect, disinterest, and a lack of knowledge of the disease.

Learn more about Greta Granö’s exhibition ‘Collages of Rest!’

This collection of poems and collages was created between 2023 and 2025. Greta took breaks throughout her creation process, working on small portions at a time due to her ME. The first collage in this collection, ‘a sadness in me,’ was one of Gretas first and is what inspired her to explore the medium further.

These artworks reflect Greta’s inner world, capturing her emotions and feelings. She draws inspiration from daily life as well from the stories and emotions of those around her.

‘Creating comes from an inner need that is often triggered by an emotion or an event in my life.’ — Greta Granö

Learn more about Greta Granö!

Greta is the founder of A Quiet Storm and is among the artists featured in our gallery. She is a multidisciplinary artist exploring her creativity through music, dance, writing, and visual media. Her artwork reflects her inner and outer world, using her art to both express her emotions and spread awareness of social causes she finds meaningful.

Greta has had ME/CFS for almost 10 years, most of those being severe. She knows first-hand the isolation this debilitating illness can bring and sought to create a space for those most severely affected to share their art.

“It can feel like no one understands or hears you, at least it did to me, until you find other people who know this specific suffering too. I’m forever grateful for the community of people with severe ME, and I feel a desperate need to give back to these people as much as I just can.” — Greta Granö, 2025

Let us reintroduce Greta Granös exhibition ‘Collages of Rest!’ As our gallery has undergone a makeover, we want to share our artists and exhibitions in a new light! Follow along as we share more of this series!

‘Collages of Rest’ is a collection of mixed-media collages and poems. Through these works, Greta explores themes of sadness, the passage of time, and the deep loneliness that life with severe ME/CFS brings.
