Red Nail Polish
Red nail polish symbolizes Henrietta Lack’s individuality. During her autopsy, Mary Kubicek realized that Henrietta’s cells came from a human being. The color red was something that could be connected to Henrietta’s personality, taste, and individualism, so she could not ignore how those factors played into Henrietta being just as human as she was, and not just a corpse.
