Body Field Meets Sterile Field
Vanessa Velez (2017)
Copic markers, Pigma Micron fine point pen, and love
Where the consciousness floats into the medicine
Where the sacred meets the metal
Where the steel cuts the energy field
Burning through the soul
Born in and burn out
Drained and exhausted
Lays the patient, stands the surgeon
Where the Body Field meets the Sterile Field
