Abstract or Description
This is a sketch of a woman walking into a clinic with her three children, being greeted by a member of the nursing staff. There are two additional staff members in the background. Overlaid on the sketch are acrylic paints representing the emotions of each person. For the mother holding her newborn, the dark blue around her represents sadness, the white represents isolation, and the purple represents detachment. Her toddler behind her, as well as the nurse greeting her, are both outlined in orange and light blue, representing happiness and calmness, respectively. Her newborn and the toddler at her hip are also enclosed in calmness. The nurse greeting her has a baseline of dark grey around her, representing confidence. The staff member in the background, whispering while looking at the approaching patient and facing the staff member to her left, is encircled in dark green, representing envy, as well as light pink, representing immaturity. The recipient of her whispers is encircled in dark, dark grey, representing anxiety, and dark pink, representing embarrassment. You may also notice that the mother has dark pink around her, representing embarrassment as well. These colors flow from the individuals to coat the clinic around them. The emotions patients bring into the clinic, and those with which staff members greet them, affect the entire environment.
