Woh, what's with the symbol in the back?

Was that a scream or a yawn?

It's an intense yawn.
:)

The symbol in the background is from a set of black and white cards, the nurses taped onto all of the incubators in the NICU. The symbols were supposed to stimulate the baby's brain development, and vision as many babies spent time alone in the nursery and the ratio of nurse to baby is 3 to 1.

Anyway, I could write you a thesis on the dehumanizing effects of institutions like hospitals,....
