Time, 2025
No full textArtist(s): Vi Nguyen
Materials: Recycled computer parts
Time is a clock built from recycled computer parts - once tools of technology, now part of a story about progress and possibility. Inspired by the way innovation continues to shape medicine, this piece reflects how time and technology converge in our mission to end cancer.
Every minute moves us forward. Every second holds opportunity - not just for breakthroughs in medicine, but in how we choose to live, connect, and show up for one another. Time reminds us that change is always in motion - and that we are all part of the progress. Part of the mission.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/recycledart2025/1097/thumbnail.jp
Healing in the Elements, 2025, vials
No full textArtist(s): Marlene Castro
Materials: Plastic supply caps
This artwork, crafted from Apheresis Clinic\u27s supply caps and tubings meant for discard, and mostly of unused/expired specimen lab tubes generously provided by the MDA Laboratory Department- transform the remnants of diagnosis into a vision of recovery. Each cap, tube, and stopper once carried the story of someone doing Stem Cell Therapy or awaiting answers-each a symbol of illness, uncertainty and the fragile search for healing. Now, reimagined as a vivid landscape, they tell a new story: one of resilience, hope, renewal and the interconnectedness of science, nature and the human spirit. This recycled art piece is a tribute by the Apheresis Clinic and team to every patient, every healer, and the enduring beauty that can rise from our most vulnerable moments.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/recycledart2025/1091/thumbnail.jp
