Center piece

For my center piece I would like to focus on the issues of Big Pharmacy and Insurance rates/affordable healthcare on a small scale. I would like to specifically focus on the issues of the cost of Diabetes supplies, since I am have it and it is a extremely scary and real issue for me.

A bottle of insulin alone cost around 120 dollars, and I need at least one a month, and that does not give an room for error, like dropping it or it expiring. My test stripes to test my blood sugar so I safely eat or live, cost between 65-80 dollars depending on brand and how many I get. My insulin pump, which significantly makes like easier and more tolerable to live with diabetes cost 3000 dollars for a box of ten replacements.

So I want to bring attention to the insane of cost of thing I literally need to live though no fault of my own, by using the shape of an insulin bottle. I will make a design with money, and cost of various things. This might be with images, or just with money amounts, not sure yet.

I was inspired by this artist Austin Wieland who uses majolica glazes to reimagine and floral designs to heavy duty equipment and everyday objects to add attention to animal cruelty issues I believe.
