Very somber, and very well done, John I can appreciate the meaning behind this one. tigs=^..^=

In contrary with Sandi's comment, I'm still searching for the meaning behind this creation.
Could it be that the three nurses are trying to cure a patient, John? If so, I'm still guessing however what their reflections will tell us as well. A possibility is that the patient has psychiatric problems, and that the nurses are trying to heal her of his split personality, visualized by the reflections.
Intriguing creation anyhow. Very well done too!

Nice and meaningful creation, John.

It looks like a Cure Cancer Ribbon to me Shads. It is a horrible disease and takes so many. It doesn't matter the age, no one is safe. I do hope they find a cure.

The cure for cancer is like fusion, always 30 years away. And there will always be other ways for us to shuffle off this mortal coil. We're fragile beings and always will be. I'm more disturbed by our lack of empathy when it comes to alleviating the pain and suffering in a person's final days and hours. Withholding pain numbing drugs because of what? That they might become addicted? They're already dying. There seems to be a deep and virulent undercurrent of cruelty in this country, the feeling that other people should just accept their lot in life and suffer in silence. That pain builds character. The puritanical gloating toward the afflicted I see so much of really sticks in my craw. But we'll never have a great country until we shed that toxic mindset along with our racism and misogeny. Unfortunately, things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.

Unfortunately, the ribbon can only keep this terrible disease in the public consciousness without actually getting us any closer to the cure. In the meantime we keep losing good people. Two days ago, a good friend and a most dignified, beautiful, humble and caring woman lost her third and final battle with ovarian cancer. I am sure many of us have lost someone special, but a year after my own successful cancer surgery, Terri, in the middle of her own second battle, greeted me at a fundraiser for her by asking how I was doing with my prostate cancer.

Having dealt with my mom's cancer and being in the hospital with her on and off seeing numerous patients each dealing with their own form of this insidious monster I fully understand wanting to find a cure or at least slow the progress. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding tribute - I totally agree lets get rid of this terrible disease - I lost my BFF to it.
