WELCOME TO THE FALL-WINTER 2025-26 INTIMA: A JOURNAL OF NARRATIVE MEDICINE © Seeds of Life by Elli Youngeun Lee. Oil and colored pencil on canvas Elli Youngeun Lee is a painter and third-year medical student at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. “The first time I saw a dead body was in the cadaver lab...the flowers honor these physical bodies as vessels of the donors’ time on earth—reminders that, through their gift, our growth and our future patients’ healing take root.”
