It is named after Henrietta Lacks (1920-1951).

It also led to much discussion + debate about the property of discarded human tissue. Check out the book by Rebecca Skloot to learn more about this incredible story.

Bespoke German Village Water Feature Project
This is a bespoke water feature we designed + built for the reception area of Blue Sky Med Spa located in German Village, Columbus, Ohio. The water feature is roughly 7’x7’ in size.

The rock wall is a black quartzite ledger stone, and also black river rocks in the base that the water runs over. We added small spotlights under the hood for some drama. The back side was done with a stained shiplap wall.
