NATURE SOUNDS WHILE THE IV DRIPS

Nature Sounds While the IV Drips is about war. It reflects the endurance of the battle of illness- long hospital stays, silence, and the emotional weight of chemotherapy. There are eight movements in this work, inspired by eight rounds of chemotherapy while battling stage four cancer.
