Description

Virus is a piece that ended up being an accident. I was experimenting with trapping alcohol ink inside circular objects. I got frustrated at one point and dragged the ink out diagonally. I then started to see something in this that I wanted to work with. Now what you see here is what my mind pictures as a virus. I know a virus is not a living thing. It finds a host and goes from there and even finds a way to mutate and change. A virus is a very scary thing to me. In my mind, this is how I see COVID-19. A scary, evil nemesis that will do what it must do to continue existing. So how is this not living? I don’t fully understand. Miriam Webster defines a virus like this: any of a large group of submicroscopic infectious agents that are usually regarded as nonliving extremely complex molecules, that typically contain a protein coat surrounding an RNA or DNA core of genetic material but no semipermeable membrane, that are capable of growth and multiplication only in living cells, and that cause various important diseases in humans, animals, and plants.
This is a time of profound change in our world. Something bigger is coming, a paradigm shift. Whether a virus or global change of some kind. The virus is just the beginning. I feel it in my soul. Please be kind to one another. Be generous. We are going to need one another more than ever in the coming days, months, years, etc.
