About the Artwork
“The photo depicts the contents of the first home delivery of supplies for starting my home infusions.”
Heather Finlay-Morreale is a paper artist, photographer, writer, physician and patient who developed a disabling neurological condition. She spent a decade training to be a physician, then got really sick. She transitioned to the other side of the exam-room curtain to share her life as a patient. Drawing on these experiences on both sides of the curtain, her art, writing and storytelling aim to reach and foster the humanity of every cog in the medical machine.

And I wonder how much of this will be wasted/unused during the course of therapy.
And I wonder how much of this will be wasted or remain unsused (and thus wasted).

Your photo demonstrates not only the complicated treatment process but also how technology will now complicate your personal space, your sense of self, and your body.
I find your photo and its title very moving. Thank you for sharing.
