Defining Quote: “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive. And to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” -Dr. Maya Angelou

Artists: Phillip Anjum (photographer) and Elizabeth Auckley (painter)
Medium: Paint on printed canvas

Artist Statement: We are current medical students at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. For our Portrait Project, each student was first photographed ‘in their element’; in a space where they felt comfortable. The photos were then completely de-saturated and then printed on canvas to represent the depersonalization that medical school experience may instill as well as the constant disorientation that comes with embracing a completely new and uncertain world. The colors painted back onto the canvas represents the uniqueness of each individual that shines through the showcase of the human faces of future physicians who will be caring for patients across the country and the world.
