The image that you see here depicts a doctor next to people trapped in pill bottles. I chose this to incorporate into my textile piece because it depicts the lack of opioid training doctors received at the beginning of this epidemic and even continuing to current time. 

This image displays a hospital band. I added this hospital band to my textile piece in order to help the viewer visualize a real person instead of just another number. 

This image displays a picture of a pill bottle pouring out with the words “Local opioid addicts- take one daily”. I included this in my piece in order to draw attention to the mass inaccurate and dangerous marketing tactics used by pharmaceutical companies at the beginning of the opioid epidemic.
