Kalisa with Golden Mask

2021 | Watercolor on paper, with a wood frame

The gorgeous watercolor painting on paper reflects on the adverse effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic, which has created a scarcity in many forms, for many people. The person's face is covered to represent masks that have become our necessary reality, yet he is shirtless to reflect the shortage in resources such as clothing; he is silenced, wishing we could return to the vibrancy of life before the pandemic.
