healing

Good for you!
I love it that we are applying to our heart's desires for the things that we want.
I'm very excited to see what becomes of your letter of interest.
What made you write to this specific location?

Be careful, though, about looking at the context too literally.
I'm a little worried about the literal translations of "healing" that make the artist a therapist rather than an instrument of transformation through their work. The movie "Awakenings" comes to mind...
Especially in a hospital context.

But looking at it in another way, your work has tremendous potential to influence and transform the hospital by asking very interesting questions about caring for oneself, caring for others, care of one's culture, society, the world, etc.
Macro to micro possibilities.
I see the egg series being very relevant there,
as well as your interaction with (patients, doctors, family members, etc)...

Brava Tereza!
