# 23 multi-cultural holiday decoration


12 days of christmas
day 5

at my work in a hospital 
(yes, i decorate there too)
we regularly decorate our unit for every season and events, 
from 9/11 memorial to breast cancer awareness month.

but working in a very diverse city of new york,

it has always been a challenge to decorate for the holidays,
having to put in mind the different faith and culture,

christmas (christian)
hanukkah (jewish)
 kwanzaa (african-american)





our staff collected caps from the medication vials we used
(maybe hundreds of them daily)
i spray painted them to the colors i needed 
to form a menorah for hanukkah, a kinara for kwanzaa
and to make a frame ornaments for our christmas tree
i'm truly happy how we were able to make use of these
little things into useful art

really a unique idea.
