IRANIAN ARTIST DEPICTS
DOCTORS DEALING WITH COVID 19
G'day folks,
Nobody expected 2020 to be like this. All media
channels encouraging people to stay at home. All theaters, cinemas, gyms, and
museums being closed. All hospitals around the world filled with people, some
even unable to help others. It seems like everything has stopped in the great
pandemic of the 21st century—coronavirus. One artist decided to show us how to
adapt to these uneasy and extreme times.
39-year-old Iranian artist Alireza Pakdel creates
mindful illustrations that reflect on the world’s current situation and show
how to fight the spread of this invisible enemy. His illustrations capture the
harsh reality of those who sacrifice themselves to take care of us—doctors,
policemen, firemen, and nurses. They are the protagonists of these illustrations
that we must respect.
Pakdel masterfully highlights the power of
solidarity, empathy, and protection for one another. His characters convey all
kinds of feelings and appeal to surreal, imaginary situations that reflect on
today’s world—a group of doctors holding the arrows of the clock to wait for
the vaccine, a doctor and a nurse trying to break the chain of the coronavirus
from a patient’s hand, and another doctor sacrificing himself to defend a group
of patients from the deadly virus.
Now, check out his wonderful work ...
Clancy's comment: Brilliant and empowering. Love ya work, Alireza.
I'm ...
