This exhibit consists of a conceptual building of individual human body parts and experiences.  It explores the body’s lived experience of trauma, incorporating reminiscences from the past to transform life, resiliency and potential.  Each form acts as a “vessel” that may hold emptiness, vulnerability, pain and healing.

"As an artist, a nurse and a truthteller.  The artist in me wants to express; the nurse in me wants to encourage healing; and the truthteller wants to put form to difficult universal truths."
