“I wanted to capture the feeling of those days where the only rays of sunlight we see are through glimpses in the patients' rooms.”
Esha Sawant is a third-year medical student at Stony Brook University. She is from New York, but completed her undergraduate education at Dalhousie University in medical sciences with a minor in Russian studies and intercultural communication. Sawant, who is passionate about art as a way to create intentional space for reflection and to capture striking moments in medicine, is also inspired by folk modes of storytelling that bring beauty into the everyday through song, dance, painting and textile work. Her artwork has appeared in the RSOM Anastomoses Journal.
