THE ANATOMY SHOP
Modern Remedies For Regular People
The Anatomy Shop is a series of six poems through a conceptual pseudo “shop” that propose human organs for sale. Through millions of years of natural selection, the human species has become so that we are all born with a set of functional organs that are not meant to hold monetary value. With the rise of medical technology and the plethora of treatment modalities from organ transplants to CRISPR comes with it the curious thought of body parts, perfected. The Anatomy Shop is meant to prod at this very notion, and further, the evolutionary drive to enhance the human body through artificial means. These poems can be found throughout the streets of Los Angeles.
