“Point of Departure”, is an evocative work suggesting the need to have comfortable conversations about end-of-life preparations. The installation features 100 foldable medical walkers, piled into a hauntingly beautiful structure, accompanied by a uniquely curated soundtrack, offering an immersive experience that deepens the reflection on this health care topic.

 

“Point of Departure” serves as an allegory for the emotional and physical weight placed upon individuals facing long term care, as well as by their families and close friends. And the joint decision-making that often goes unspoken until the final moments.

 

The installation challenges viewers to consider how society approaches death, dignity, and the healthcare system’s role in facilitating a peaceful and respectful end-of-life experience.
