Outline of a human printed on a manila bookmark, has been marked in ink with the words "Raw" and "Dry" overlapping each other. The armpits have been written "Raw" so many times the ink has pooled and become a deep heavy stain. The cheeks and throat are also raw, the knees, palms, and forehead dry.

Support my Health & Art!

Healthcare in the USA is expensive. If you are able, please support me on ko-fi, or share my ko-fi & art with others. I also use the ko-fi funds to get this art into the world--application fees, materials/framing costs, shipping to & from exhibits, and of course an occasional yummy matcha. Thank you!
