The spiraling tornado on this vessel represents a changing moment in my life. After watching my grandmother collapse from cardiac arrest in Branson, Missouri and being life-flighted to the Springfield Hospital, I knew she was lucky to be alive. This thought was reinforced when the Joplin tornado occurred the very next day, completely destroying the helicopter she was in and the nearby hospital. While in ICU, my grandmother received an angel, which gave her comfort in knowing her life had been spared from death several times. She now gives angels to anyone she knows that maybe sick or going through a hard time. My grandmother has inspired me to create this vessel and to showcase this angel that she gave me and her bracelet to remember how easily one’s life can be taken.
