Self-portrait of a long Covid (Swiss Stories 2025, by Stéphanie Buret) - Swiss Press Award

Photoreporter, je me retrouve confinée pendant 4 ans car je suis en partie invalide, suite à l'infection au Covid et une inflammation généralisée du corps. La nuit, comme un mort installé dans un cercueil, les bras le long du corps, je ne peux me tourner car aucun flanc de mon corps est assez doux pour supporter l’écrasement.
