Healing hands

Artist and physician Dalia Moghazy (pictured) was awarded Honorable Mention for her artwork in the Healing Hands: A Collection of Caregiver Expressions on Mental Wellness exhibit at The Health Museum. The obstetrics/gynecology physician painted a visual metaphor for dementia, including an image of the brain divided into sides of cognitive clarity and loss of memory. “Art and medicine are deeply intertwined, as both seek to heal and understand the human experience,” said Dr. Moghazy. The exhibit showcases a variety of artwork created by caregivers to tell the stories of what it is like to care for others. Works including short essays, poems, watercolor paintings, embroidered journals, and photography from 24 local artists are on display through February.
