money, health, & art

a lineage of images on health & my work from past year:

screen capture of my purchased health insurance plan (catastrophe insurance)

an x-ray of my teeth, after my abscessed tooth was removed (more on that experience here)

tree/stump in England which people have hammered coins into for good luck
