A model inspired by the postmodern art movement.
The model is created with the idea of people suffering during this pandemic, COVID-19.
Made out of paper and bandages, tape and a piece of mask.
PROCESS OF CREATION
The model was made with paper, tape, bandages and a piece of mask.
First the shape of the model was made using paper and taping it in place.
After the base figure was made with paper, I wrapped the whole figure with bandage and applied some light brush strokes with black paint.
Last of all I cut a small piece of mask and stitched it above the area where the mouth should be on the figure .
THE IDEA BEHIND
The idea behind this figure is to show how our lives has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nowadays wearing a mask has become one of the most important things in our life so as to stay safe. How old or young everyone has a mask on their faces. Using the mummy is to show how everyone is affected by the virus both mentally and physically. Thousands of people have died because of the virus, and many are bound to die. The human race now has become the living death of the 21st century. It's like our hands and legs have been tied, we cannot shake hands, we cannot go out of our houses. The thing is those who has dies, those who are bound to die because of the virus and those who are fighting against the virus has a mask on their faces no matter how old or young they are. We are all tied up just like the figure.
THE GOAL
The goal of my work is to make the people realize that how our lives have drastically changed over a few months. Life has changed its path for all of us. For the sad part we are just like living mummies in our homes. Whatever the condition may be we must try to be positive and try to learn lots of new thing while we are at home.
