In this work, the human body is the true artist, and I am merely the analyst who wrote code to bring it to light.

Fancy Donut
Kimlan Phan, M1, Class of 2027
I’ve been working with clay since high school where I primarily focused on hand building and sculptures. After starting undergrad at UMKC, I continued ceramics at the KC Clay Guild, a local nonprofit pottery studio. There, I forced myself to learn throwing on the wheel, which has now become my main practice. During the pandemic, when I was cut off from the studio and this outlet I had been relying on, I was in a very dark place mentally. After a lot of coaxing from friends and family, I returned to ceramic work, and during my gap year, I spent almost all of my free time working with clay. In the process, I found a community among my fellow potters. The Fancy Donut was born from a series of challenges I created for myself.

In many Indian communities, the Buffalo has long been a symbol of self-sacrifice; it gives until there is nothing left. The buffalo made life possible for many by providing warmth, nutrients, tools – every part seen as valuable and used for a unique purpose. To me, the buffalo serves as a reminder to give all that we have for others until there is nothing left to give. As you walk the halls, rooms, and sidewalks of KUMC and beyond, I hope this piece reminds you of your own extraordinary value and unique mission to provide for and serve all that you are able.

Throughout medical school, pottery became a source of self-care for me. I am not a pottery expert and am lucky to get something off the wheel. However, I made wonderful memories with friends trying to create different pieces, got a well-deserved break from studying, and made a few things I’m really proud of- like this red vase here. I highly recommend pottery and the KC Clay Guild to anyone hoping to pursue pottery as a fun hobby!
Battle Within
Mandeep Kaur, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department PhD Candidate, 5th Year
This is a painting of a battlefield where the enemy is within, war is against our own obstructing thoughts and victory is the wisdom that sets you (the horse) free.
