Metal Work

This piece reveals a part of me that would not ordinarily be visible.Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by doctors, nurses, and medicine. I have a complicated relationship with hospital rooms -- they have given me incredible opportunities but have caused both physical and emotional pain.
