About the Artwork
“The sculpture is bronze cast with the lost-wax method. I did it decades ago, and still need to make a wooden base–steps for her to climb. It’s symbolic of my own journey in medicine and how I am now moving toward helping others find their footing on their palliative and hospice journeys.”
Lucas Lund, a self-proclaimed “old family-practice doc,” is now in the middle of a palliative care and hospice fellowship. “Next year, I hope to join a loving, collaborative team devoted to helping people who are facing death. That journey may involve passing comfortably or living on, wiser for what they’ve been through.”
