Corona Fighter

Puja Jha

We all know how Corona caused havoc all over the world. Our life was confined inside the four walls of the house. Seeing the holocaust of Corona in my country as well as in the whole world, my mind used to get distracted. Seeing the surrounding environment started having some negative and some positive effects on my mind. In such a situation, I could not muster the courage to show the negative effect in my artwork because I am an emotional person.

But through my art, I tried to convey the positive effect to all the people of the country. Taking the help of my art, I concentrated my mind. In the time of this holocaust, I taught mithila art through online classes, to many kids and women so that I could transfer some positive thoughts into their minds and I also prepared three artworks which were based on Corona.

During Corona, the way the community helper saved our life without caring about his life. So, we should give them respect. We all see him as a corona fighter. That's why I made the Corona Fighter painting. People should always remember his contribution.
