HANDS HEALING HANDS
Hands Healing Hands is an oil painting series that illustrates the highly technical field of plastic and reconstructive surgery from a humanistic perspective. These five paintings follow a hand surgeon and his pediatric patients in the operating room and clinic, compiling multiple cases into a single narrative. The hands in each painting attempt to capture pivotal moments of the healing process. In addition to the artistry of surgery, they depict the relationship between provider and patient that is formed in a space of vulnerability and mutual trust.
Hands Healing Hands was exhibited in the Li Ka Shing Center at Stanford School of Medicine and the Gunn Foyer Gallery of McMurtry at Stanford University.
