Written description:
Yes, I have an experience with disease like cystitis and Candida. Actually I sometimes might catch cystitis because my weak urinary system. Usually it happens in the end of winter when my organism is weak after cold weather. Candida can happen with me in summer especially in super-hot weather. For example when I travelled in Asia, I got candidiasis. It was +40 on the street, and to be honest it was not a very clean city :). I know how to treat it, what kind of pills or vaginal suppositories to use. I always have it in my personal first aid kit.

Oral description:
“So, this “artifact”, or “installation”, how to call it… it looks a little bit pathetic and weak for me and the same time it made it made with, disgusting for me, materials. I hate this kind of material [polyester] for me is like, especially when it touched to each other it make a noise which like make a painful inside you and then also like unstable because if you touch it will… no… boy come on [she touch the artifact so to make it falling on the table, but it does not. Then, it falls]. Yeah, it destroys. So for me it's something which I hate a lot. Like all all in one at the same time, it's weak because it might be fixed, but it's pear [not sure about the word “pear”, but it might mean: “something has gone wrong” with me].”
