This piece serves as documentation of my worst experience. With it, I attempted to transform the physical artifact of my pain into an object of beauty. I hoped that this would serve as a catalyst to allow me to internalize the experience. The piece itself does not accomplish this, but the process of creating it did. As I treated a part of my own body as material, I had to become aware of its separateness from me, and had to reconcile myself to that separateness.
