“Care Giver”

Title: Care Giver
Medium: Ebony wood
Size: 76 x 20 x 10 cm (30 x 8 x 4 inches)
Year: 2010

 

Imagine a world without the health caregiver?  What a grim and miserable world overwhelmed by morbidity and mortality it would be.

Health care givers should be appreciated for their efforts.

Caregiver is an expression of appreciation for all that the medical field is doing. Basically I am inspired by surgery and pediatrics. A close look at the work you will see a fetus holding on to the stethoscope showing the relationship between the pediatrician and the patient.

The other side of the work depicts a surgeon.
