Artist-made homeopathic remedies: the sound of glaciers melting, the voice of the oldest person to ever live, the last heartbeats of a loved one, a million-year-old blossom, a million-year-old raindrop, deceased lovers’ heartbeats, extinct animal sounds, and extinct languages.
Custom-ordered remedies created by a professional homeopath: black amber, willow, tears, mammoth hair, glacial runoff, voice of the oldest widow, black swan bone dust, and Sylvia Plath’s voice.
