Artist Statement

These four pieces depict the holistic and dynamic realities of nurses’ lived experiences via the journey of crows and constructs of time/seasons, language/words, and shadow/light. The intention is to offer a common metaphor to create a conversation. The crows symbolize many dichotomous concepts of uncovering and recovering.
