Abstract
PLEXUS is a student-organized publication that showcases artwork by the UCI School of Medicine students, physicians, faculty, staff and patients.True to its name, PLEXUS aspires to connect those who seek to heal and to be healed through the unifying language of art.In 2016, PLEXUS invited submissions to complement our theme of “Cultivating perspectives.” The PLEXUS team was astounded by the depth and richness of the pieces submitted, and we thank each and every one of our submitters for their time and thought. Additionally, please find our performing arts pieces on our website, www.uciplexus.org. Previous publications and pieces are available online as well.Winners of PLEXUS Student Competitions made possible by the Program in Medical Humanities & Arts.
