COVID19: FIRST RESPONDERS: We’re In It Together 1
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.
