So I tried to do something creative here with the gauzes from my surf incident. It didn't turn out as "elegant" as I had expected but I'm still pretty stoked with the concept of using it as the media.
Yes, I was going to sign it by affixing my hospital bracelet to it but the band was yellow and it just took away from the subtleness of the mosaic.
I just wanted to immortalize this because it made me experience blood in new ways. With my face all fucked the fuck up I lost all sensation (due to local anesthesia). It was weird because usually when people experience blood, they see it, they feel it. On the operating table, I wasn't aware of the blood dripping down my mouth and lips; I was only made privy of it when I tasted it on my tongue. And the only way I knew that essences of my life were cascading down my cheek was when my eye would become flushed with a blanket of red liquid.
Sensory deprivation in ways I never imagined.
