Circles of Life

My aunt, from my mom’s side (her oldest sister), who went to Japan, studied nursing and worked as a midwife on the island of Taiwan during the WWII. At age 25 she  died from tuberculosis.  A few years later, penicillin arrived on the island and consequently many lives were saved. After I learned that Penicillin owes much to the cantaloupe, I have decided to start a series of circles of land with this fruit and pondering about my aunt’s brilliant life cut short.  – Yiren Gallagher


Half of the cantaloupe as a bowl for offering and for begging as well.
