A RESPONCE TO A PANDEMIC

"We are not only suffering from COVID-19 but

we are also suffering from a pandemic of greed, hate, bias, racism, intolerance, and apathy"

At the beginning,  I did not think I would be addressing the pandemic with my artwork because the suffering brought about by COVID-19 was not the result of human violence.  However, as economic pressures began to increase, certain social selfish attitudes and actions (mainly in the US) began to arise and worsen. These behaviors, where money outweighs safety, have inspired a small body of work addressing three main topics:

1. The first topic engages with the notion that the wellbeing of a stable economy supersedes the wellbeing of the elderly. 
2. The second topic addresses the blunt, and in some cases armed, disobedience of certain communities towards social precautionary guidelines meant to save lives using economic hardship as an excuse. 
3. And lastly, the life-threatening uneven social and legal standing between whites and minorities, driven by fears of losing economic superiority.
