Make a statement with this bold mixed media canvas confronting two of our most urgent issues: public health and political responsibility.
At its center is a handmade American flag mask, built from open netting woven with red, white, and blue strings. Its open holes echo the people who refused to wear masks, and the daily danger that choice created for those of us living with chronic illness.
The artwork is also deeply personal. The scar on the neck recalls time on a ventilator after a transplant, and the fear of getting COVID and not surviving, or of going back on a ventilator. The tubes on the neck represent the biopsies endured along the way.
This piece:
Speaks to the collective duty to protect vulnerable communities
Opens honest conversation about chronic illness and public health
Turns lived medical experience into a powerful, urgent message
More than decoration, this artwork is a reminder that every life matters and that care for one another is a shared responsibility.
