The coats adorned, they’ve never been cleaner,
and so it begins, we’ve never felt keener.
We have our support and new pals too.
We’re starting off slow, ITD we go through.

KnockOut
Isabelle Parisi, MD Class of 2028
“KnockOut” was created right before I began my application to medical school. At the time I was going through intense turmoil in my personal life and was struggling to balance it all. I created this work to symbolize my trust in myself, that no matter what, I would get through it. No matter how many times I would get knocked down, I’ll always keep getting back up.
Soda Fire Mug
Kimlan Phan, MD Class of 2027
My recent bodies of work have been graffito drawing on mugs, with various inspirations from East Asian art. I found a book on lacquerware, and used it as reference for several of my designs. This mug is a result of additional experimentation in a soda fired kiln creating a unique glaze pattern on the surface.
Wedding Vows
Kourtney Monk, MD Class of 2026
Growing up, a photo of my parents hands taken on their wedding day was displayed in my home, and I was always captivated by its beauty and the love that it represented. Years later, I recreated this image as a drawing for my parents to commemorate their 25th wedding anniversary. To this day, this image hangs proudly in their home and is a lasting symbol of their love for one another.

Learning Crochet for the First Time
Lina Chiem, School of Nursing, N2, Class of 2026
I recently started learning how to crochet, and while it was difficult at first, I was beginning to get the hang of it after practicing every stitch. I began to realize that there was a lot of repetition with the stitches but that is what brings the piece to life.

Antigua Guatemala (2020)
I went on an International Educational Exchange program through KUMCIO. One of our stops was Antigua, Guatemala. This clock tower arch is a landmark in the city. I was in the right place at the right time to capture these pigeons in an iconic setting. The times were uncertain with the looming COVID Pandemic. We were actually uncertain if we would be allowed to leave the country and return to the US. Luckily, we were one of the last flights from Guatemala for a while and when we landed back in the USA the whole team was quarantined for 2 weeks. The image brought a feeling of hope and serenity.
