Pandora's Box and Cystic Art

I took my CT scans out today. I really should have left them alone, but I just couldn't. I pulled one out and thought, "not bad". The next one was of the actual mass. It took up most of the scan! After freaking for an appropriate amount of time, I felt the need to share. I took a photo of the CT held up to the window for light to shine through (yes I have a scanner, just don't want to go hook it up). I opened up my photo editing software and was going to remove the personal information on the scan. One thing led to another and I had created art out of it. It felt good to normalize it. To make it into something powerful, or at least pretty. I got alot of "Oh shit, that is big, but you are so brave". Funny, I don't feel brave. I feel like a big stooopid coward who left something go too long and will be punished for it by being cut in two...but I digress.
I later created another since I got such positive feedback from Hip Mama (where I posted the pic). Here is my Ode to Andy Warhol. Made me feel better about it. Not sure why, but it did.
