Medium: Photography Artist’s statement: These two photographs taken at Dante's Peak in Death Valley, California, and at the height of the Arkansas Grand Canyon showcase a view of the landscape that cannot be seen within the landscape itself. These images remind us to stop, breathe and remember the bigger picture — our reason, our why — for pursuing medicine, which is too easy to forget amid the everyday routines of studying and shifts. Remembering our why and remembering the view from the top of the mountain infuses purpose into every step that got us there.
