The waiting room can be an amazing source of inspiration, and the Utopian College of Emergency Medicine embraces those that rise to the challenge of being creative during this period of reflection, contemplation and sheer boredom.

Spaces of waiting exist in each of our lives, sometimes quite literally (a doctor’s office, the ER), while at other times, they exist only in the abstract (waiting for a better time to come, for happiness, or love). The Waiting Room hovers somewhere between the concrete and the ephemera. Using the conventions and aesthetics of waiting rooms, I’ve created a space that is simultaneously real and unreal; a meditation on, and exploration of, time, waiting, and fate. – Ben Cuevas
