The found object that I have incorporated into my piece is the plastic syringe located on the left hand side of the photo. I was inspired by the syringe at this point in time because I have been dealing with some medical issues with my Dad. This is also the reason that I chose to include the cluster of white and red blood cells. I also decided to display the piece as a necklace because I wanted to relate the piece back to the medical field through the use of a stethoscope-like object.
There is also something very personal about the body being the display for the object. Body adornment often personifies the intangible characteristics of a person.
