Using autoethnography and photography, this article explores the culture of stroke, rehabilitation, and recovery. In 1998, Heidi Kelley had a massive stroke, leaving her speechless. The authors use the experience as an occasion to reflect on the meaning of disability and the relationship of language to power and representation. They conclude that the role of the anthropologist, like that of the artist, involves being willing to investigate the enigma of silence in both words and pictures
