Stickman – The Vicissitudes of Crohn’s. The overall winner of this year’s Wellcome Image Awards is this eerie depiction of Crohn’s disease. The scene is a digital image which captures the artist’s own experience of the condition. Thought to be caused by inflammation of the digestive system, Crohn’s disease often involves abdominal pain and weight loss. With the character Stickman the artist reflects such symptoms, but captures signs of hope, too, not least in the hare nestled snugly in the trunk of the tree. (Photo by Spooky Pooka/Wellcome Images)
