My friend and mentor Lara had undergone chemotherapy for her metastatic cancer the day before, and fainted while making this mold, causing it to warp. While assessing the damaged mold, I noticed my fingers were beginning to numb, later realizing her chemotherapy had been sweat into the silicone mold. I could not work with the mold because it was dangerous and warped; for the next six months I did surgery on this mold and its casts trying to "fix her." Lara would always surprise me by sending me scans of her test results showing that where I had made clusters of embedded ceremonial materials was coincidentally where her tumors were, or where she had scars from the tubes and ports put into her. We were more deeply connected than we had ever been before. I completed this sculpture on May 26, 2023. Lara passed away on May 29, 2023. Although devastated that I lost my friend, I am thankful for the ritual of working on her body and making this sculpture that helped me process this time in my life.
