Students from classes of 2028 and 2029, along with participating faculty and staff, came together to transform a life-size mannequin into a canvas of anatomy and art. \u201cAnna Tomi: Beneath the Surface,\u201d completed Sept. 23, 2025, is a fusion of medicine, creativity and collaboration, bringing the human body to life in bold lines and vibrant colors.<\/p>\n<p>Ana Scherf, School of Medicine student and Creative HeArts Team member explained, \u201cOur vision was to bring learning to life. The goal was to transform a standard human mannequin into something that reflects both the knowledge and the creativity that defines medicine as a science and an art. Using a plastic mannequin as the base, layers of primer and acrylic paint were applied to show how form, color and various materials can turn a tool-of-learning into a shared expression of curiosity and connection. We hope that when viewers engage with this piece, they are reminded of the complexity and wonder of the human body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd <strong>HSHSL, First Floor<\/strong><br \/>\ud83d\udcc5 <strong>Nov. 3, 2025 \u2013 Jan. 5, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Creative HeArts TeamGroup Officers:<\/strong> Ana Scherf, Abby Kim, Vicky Carter<br \/><strong>Advisor:<\/strong> Dr. Abdulhameed Al-Sabban<br \/><strong>Mannequin Design:<\/strong> Ana Scherf<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Anna Tomi: Beneath the Surface<\/strong>,&#8221; 2025<br \/><span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">Acrylic paint, primer, wood, metal stud, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\">plastic mannequin<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Follow the Creative HeArts Team on Instagram: @creativehearts.umsom and @tudi_sabban<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HSHSL) is proud to host \u201cAnna Tomi: Beneath the Surface,\u201d a three-dimensional work of art designed by the Creative HeArts Team.
