Global Meltdown

My goal is to create pieces with a deep meaning and message for the audience. Typography, iconography, and photography are extremely important in my work, not only as a source of information, but as a way of communicating with the public. Mask is a color poster, which urges people to wear a facial mask all the time and therefore block spreading COVID-19. The message is simple and straightforward: by protecting our physical health, we will protect our brains and our mental well-being.

Pure terror, anguish, fear, these emotions catapulted me to create Corona Landscape, a nightmarish narrative that evolved from the trauma of being stuck on a Coronavirus infested cruise ship with nowhere to port. During February and March 2020, while the world struggled with the fast growing pandemic, I was quarantined in my desolate cabin, immobilized off the coast of Africa. Miraculously making it home, and quarantined in my art studio, I agonized with worry that I had contracted Coronavirus. Would I become sick and would death soon follow? Would I be joining the death march of thousands? All I could do was paint that vision of horror in my head! The Corona Landscape symbolically reaches out hauntingly with the horrifying possibility that the infinite Corvid-19 is coming for every one of us!
