"Breathe"

This necklace is the first of five necklaces going into my BFA Thesis Exhibition. It was created a few semesters ago for a multiples project in Metals. This necklace made up of empty medicine vials, medical tubing, sterling silver jump rings, and blue beads. The vials and tubing once contained and administered vital asthma medication that saved my daughter's life. The overwhelming size of this necklace reflects the burden of living with chronic asthma and caring for a family member with chronic asthma.
