Collage Explanation
I made a
collage for this part of the project. In
the top left corner and the top middle I have two picture of a midwife because
May was a midwife before she became a doctor.
Directly below that picture in the left hand corner I have a picture of
a family tree because Mary comes from a long line of midwives. On the
bottom middle I have a picture of soldiers in war because Mary had to choose
between life and death for some soldiers.
On the right hand bottom corner there is a picture of a woman tending to
some wounded soldiers because Mary would try to calm and console the soldiers
during and after their surgeries to calm their nerves. In the top right corner I have a picture of a
civil war charwoman because that was what Mary was before she became a surgeon. On the right hand side in the middle is a
picture of an amputation kit. I put this
because once Mary was experienced enough to do amputations by herself and she
was performing them so often that she could amputate a limb in five minutes. In the middle of all the other pictures I have
a picture of a link chain under a magnifying glass. I used this photo because after Mary’s father’s
death she was strong and seemed invincible but after Jenny’s death she became
vulnerable and started letting people in to help her. Connecting all the pictures is a splurge of
blood because of all the people the she has personally lost and for all the
soldiers that she could not save.
