An enemy you can’t see is almost undefeated unless he or she can’t see you as well. This simple artwork was inspired by my idleness in the time I was stuck home. I thought I ought to do something with an awareness objective towards COVID 19. In my mind, these were the words for inspiration “idle, stuck at home, fear, stillness”. I drew inspiration by combining all these words into one image with a thousand words. Some of which are:
-
-
- To fight this invisible enemy we have had to stay home
- The only thing we could do to defeat the enemy was to do nothing (the poster itself looks
like nothing was done) - The fear that was gripping people brought darkness in their lives
- Live lost were worlds being shuttered, jobs were lost
-
Even if the world has turned dark for us we ought to play our part to invite some light back into our worlds.
