Artist's Statement

My collage depicts harmonic imaging, which is when four harmonic pulses are sent in succession to the coronary artery to increase lateral resolution. Pulses one and three cancel after hitting the coronary artery, but pulses two and four catch each layer of the artery. Therefore, the pulses give a faster, more detailed image. My image also depicts a small drop of blood coming from the artery, signifying how clotted the artery is.
