I made this piece in my M4 year as part of a course on "Health, Spirituality, and Religion" in the Spring of 2021. During this course, I spent a lot of time thinking about the intersections of health and religion that I had witnessed in my patient experiences, particularly when it came to new diagnoses. This sculpture was created as a result of these memories, as well as in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The text reads as follows: "What will happen to me? I feel lost. I'm not ready. Can you pray for me? How much time do I have? Why has God abandoned me? What did I do to deserve this? Why is this happening to me? I don't believe in God. What will happen to me? I don't know why. What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life? Will I die? I have so much left to live for. Why?"

This piece is made of clay, red glass bugle beads, acrylic paint, and wood. The dimensions are roughly 6"x4"x4"
