Convergence -

Today is quilt reveal day for the Fiberactions group and our challenge word this term was convergence.

This is my interpretation and it's named
-HeLa-



Insprired by the book
"The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot.

 Interweaving: history, research, ethics, culture, bio-medicine, race, love, emotion, fear, genetics, compassion. . .  
all of which converge together in the background of one woman's story.
