Life has its beauty and fragility. We're often so wrapped up in what life owes us and how depressing and glum the end seems that we forget it's a beautiful story. Living 02: Trace brings together healthcare practitioners, researchers, and individuals with deeply personal experiences to foster conversations about life, medical ethics, and philosophy.

We discuss palliative care and dementia, patient autonomy, cultural attitudes towards death, and the difficult balance between prolonging life and preserving quality of life and dignity.

I built it out of confocal microscope images from my own cancer biology research, tumor tissue layered over classical Western art, and a series of personal drawings. I trace how my passion for biology in general gradually shifts to a deeper reflection on medicine, ethics, and life and death. This episode tells the story of how the "Living" project began and where it's headed next.
