Abstract

We are all passengers in this life, with unique trails and destinations but many common intersections along the way. I have always been fascinated by the multidimensional nature of the hospital—a place of hope, love, pain, mourning, reflection all at once, not only for patients, but also for friends, family, and employees. At times, journeys become so layered and intertwined that the lines between these different roles are blurred, seemingly dissolving the classical hierarchy we rely on to differentiate physicians, residents, nurses, patients etc. At the end of the day, we are all people persevering and growing the best we can, and this work attempts to express that shared experience.
