ART & MEDICINE
Spectrum
By Ashley Rhae Lopez and Jennifer Gaertner-Ott,
Medical Students at University of Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine
Spectrum illuminates
how people express vary-
ing degrees of pain,
whether that be physical,
emotional, or psychologi-
cal, and how the experi-
ence of pain, in of itself, is
individualized. These indi-
viduals removed the var-
nish—lifted their painted
veil—and gave an honest
portrayal of their person-
alized experience of pain,
on their scale of 0 to 10.
