It is inspired by and directly draws upon elements from a portrait of a young dead woman by Egon Schiele. At the time, I was in the middle of a palliative care fellowship and personally recovering from a severe IBD flare. It is a meditation on birth, illness, joy, pain and death; an expression of awe as to how humans can simultaneously be wounded, age, heal, celebrate and create throughout the seasons of our lives.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bc1287e4b09cb81d8d8439/1781263262716-QOS0FYPJTX4BRWRJUB5T/Hijano%2C+Diego.jpg Blog - Living Alongside Loss: A reflection on grief, rituals, and gratitude by Diego R.

Oil and colored pencil on canvas “The first time I saw a dead body was in the cadaver lab. Behind fogged glasses, I felt my chest tighten as I faced my willed donor. But soon after, I found myself dissecting layers of skin and rifling through organs with the detachment of studying pages of a textbook. Anatomy lab is a pivotal step in our medical education. In fragmenting the human body as deidentified pieces of knowledge, it guides our hands through the otherwise unseen subjects of disease and reinforces our interconnectedness. In ‘Seeds of Life,’ the flowers honor these physical bodies as vessels of the donors’ time on earth—reminders that, through their gift, our growth and our future patients’ healing take root.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bc1287e4b09cb81d8d8439/1761944757861-17TLI5999G07DO8VI3UA/Lee%2C++Elli+Youngeun+.jpeg Blog - What Remains When the Body Is Taken Apart: A reflection on the educational ritual of anatomy class by Elli Lee - Make it stand out Elli Lee https://www.theintima.org/blog/baselines-by-rebecca-a-efroymson monthly 0.5 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54bc1287e4b09cb81d8d8439/1761944741656-FYQGV39RX6V9TYJ7HDQ3/Efroymson%2C+Rebecca.jpg Blog - Baselines, Self-Exams and Thoughts about Mammograms: A reflection by Rebecca A.

Washington “Urgent, alarming, riveting, and essential, Carte Blanche reveals that Americans, including African Americans, are still being medically experimented upon without their consent—yet again in research sanctioned by law.
