New Series, Color-Coded For Your Safety Published on Die Krankenschwester

Color-Coded For Your Safety is my latest series of images posted on the blog, Die Krankenschwester, which I also author. The series considers identity. Color-Coded for Your Safety consists of nine photographs of flip-top caps collected from medication vials, which are commonly used in hospital pharmacies. Color-coding medication vials is a visual aid created by pharmaceutical companies (medication manufacturers) assisting pharmacists, nurses and physicians to identify the medications they administer to patients. The goal is to prevent patients from accidentally receiving the wrong medication. Each cap color represents a different medication.
