"Four Colors," 2023, Acrylic Paint. These Are Heavily Inspired By "Forbidden Colors," By Felix Gonzalez-Torres

People who work in healthcare often get asked, what's the worst thing you've seen?

Even as a former student I get asked what's the worst thing I've seen.

It's the fact every single person in healthcare I've seen say that nothing comes close to what they've seen in Gaza.

A little boy had his foot amputated without anesthesia.

Their are premature babies in the NICU who are in incubators that can't function without fuel.

Burns so severe they go to the bone.

Operations being done in the streets with a phone torch as their only light.

They are dealing with such severe injuries that the doctors themselves don't know how to treat them.

Because they've never seen anything like this before.

No one teaches you how to deal with these injuries because they didn't exist before.

The healthcare system has collapsed and they are still trying to save people.

They are singing about how they won't leave their patients.

Comforting the scared and traumatised while they are also scared and traumatised.

And people have the audacity to say they aren't human.
