Matkhabeesh Weshak (Don’t hide your face), is a society-driven initiative founded in Egypt in 2018 to support individuals born with craniofacial anomalies. The initiative was founded by Prof. Karam Allam at Sohag University, Egypt. Working to raise public awareness and promoting society acceptance for individuals with craniofacial anomalies; the initiative had arranged an art exhibition in association with medical students from Sohag Medical university. We take the opportunity to present few of the most outstanding artworks by medical students.

WHY I STARTED SCULPTING...

By Jose Luis Molina Moguel Mexico

ONE DAY, while I was operating on a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, for some reason the orthodontist asked me if he could enter the operating theatre as a second assistant.

Everything went well in surgery, there was a little bleeding on the right side, and I asked the orthodontist to gently compress using his finger in the cheek area. That day, we finished the surgery without problems.

However, on the evening visit, I noticed that the patient had a right facial paralysis. It was my first time to encounter such a complication, although I had my share of experience in doing these osteotomies.

When I found out that clay and plasticine could get damaged easily, I converted my medium to bronze, which is almost indestructible. so, it was surgery that turned me on to sculpting!

I talked to my teachers in the United States, and after seven days, purulent discharge began to drain from the right side. We thought that the etiology of this unusual complication was likely to be muscle necrosis in the area of the facial nerve caused by that finger compression.

The patient recovered three months later without any problem, but this experience made me turn to sculpting “the monk”. I went and bought plasticine and started working on a sculpture of a monk with it. It was about 30 cm tall, and he was looking up to heaven asking God to help him. When I found out that clay and plasticine could get damaged easily, I converted my medium to bronze, which is almost indestructible. so, it was surgery that turned me on to sculpting! ■

Ideas and opinions never coincide, what is true, can you ever decide?

There are times when you wish you implode, seeking refuge in the will-o'-the-wisp alone.

On these bumpy roads of yesterday, on which you drive, Going further until you arrive.

To let a mind cripple with history, has no ability to release it from its misery.

Peering into the distance to find, the right blend of euphoria and peace of mind.

There is no moment like now, to be in it, but how?

Close your eyes to see, the light that illuminates you is in me.

As I slowly drift into the realm of the night, My eyes wander into a divine sight, I cross the river in all its might, I hold the log and hug it tight, I cross again back to shore, With a peaceful snore, In the dreams of my sleep, I wander yore, Treasures of midnight, wandering in my mind, People I have met who have been benovelent and kind, I crossed my path in the deepest of my dreams, Of people whose words I cannot comprehend what they mean, Of trust and friendship they spoke at first, But Then their words like a volcano it burst, Trust and patience is all I had hoped, My dreams at times lay shattered and broke, As again I drift into a seamless night, It takes me in to canopy of darkness filled with light, Where joy and hope filled the room, Into the valley of flowers in all its bloom, As I drift back into a seamless night, My dreams take me afar into a wondrous sight, Melting the night into a day so bright. My eyes wander into a divine sight. Gokul Venkateschwar India
