Item description
A mixed media collage depicting the silhouette of a person standing to show the right side of their body; holding a pitcher in their left hand, tilted as if to pour something into the cup held in their right hand. The person’s silhouette is covered in a photo-negative style colored image of a zoomed-in COVID-19 cell. The background of the collage is filled with the image of green plants, with a light pink color overlaid on top, the image angularly breaks up into a dark spotted pattern towards the top. In the top right of the collage is a COVID-19 cell, in a similar photo-negative style purple color.

COVID19: FIRST RESPONDERS: We’re In It Together 5

My series COVID19: FIRST RESPONDERS: We’re In It Together: supermarket stock clerk, truck driver, pulmonologist, respiratory specialist, xray technician celebrates our First Responders. Many of these heroic Essential Workers are African American, immigrants, Latinos, blue-collar workers and immigrants. Some lost their homes, lost their jobs or died from COVID19. These are the folks who are literally saved our lives and kept the country functioning, These are the sacrificial lambs for the wellbeing of our nation. The realities of COVID 19 is a demonstration of the appalling dynamics of class and racial inequity in our country. We witness how class, education and race are the factors that determine prosperity, good health, access to resources and wellbeing. The tragic lack of federal preparation, resources and agency coordination is yet another manifestation of cultural, racial, and class polarization, arrogance and lack of consideration for the citizenry.

These works were created from June 2020 through December 2021.I continue to develop imagery that responds to COVID19.
