These two pieces combine to create a creepy yet important image! One piece depicts a white coat often worn by doctors filled with a collage of cut-out faces. Doctors are often seen (and as medical students we are taught) to be faceless. Professional, but without revealing much of who we are as people. This elective has taught me that embracing your personality and using it to relate to your patients, and to be empathetic, is possible and useful in a medical environment. This is where the second piece comes in. This piece depicts the bodies of the cut-out heads in a collaged photo. When creating the first piece I felt great sadness that you couldn’t see what the individual characters in the first collage were doing. This second image allows the viewer to delve deeper into the lives and personalities of the bodiless images seen in the first piece. Overall, the message conveyed is that people make up medicine and allowing yourself to relate to your patients through your personality is beneficial in medicine.
