What's in My Petri Dish?
An Art Project Dedicated to Highlighting Real Experiences of People with Disabilities
Goals of this Project:
In this project, I aim to highlight the personal experiences of people with disabilities in surgeries, procedures, and medical appointments on body parts they will never get back. The emotional and physical effort we endure are parts of us that are gone. Placed in vials, petri dishes, containers, body parts are removed and forgotten. The intended outcome is to capture the personal experiences of the individual with a disability while focusing the viewer’s attention on the person behind every dish. The exact people themselves will remain nameless for anonymity, but their surgery will be written alongside the ceramic piece.
