Traces of the evil and the virtuous.| The Art of It All

The Art of It All

What have you learned about yourself or the world as a result of living through the COVID-19 pandemic? Your challenge is to express your experience of living through this historic time through a work of art.

We Will Stop At Nothing

Summary

The painting represents the lives of normal people living in quarantine while worrying about the global pandemic.The fights against COVID19 fought and awareness spread by the scientists, doctors, policemen and delivery man.However the pandemic has some positive impacts as well. After all the earth is healing in epic way,i.e., there has been decrease in nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde and other pollutants, forests are growing, change in weather is also seen.

How I Addressed This Challenge

The project " We won't stop at nothing" shows the livelihoods and psychology of the people living in quarantine and how people cope with the whole pandemic situation. 

Doctors, scientists, policemen and delivery men are busy handling the situation and creating solutions for the virus.

Stats in the sky represents that there are less pollutants in the atmosphere.

Comets and asteroids represent the celestial events taking place around the globe.

Bandaids and stitches on earth represent that the earth is healing well.

The happy face of the earth represents that it is experienced some good events due to the pandemic while the sad and terrorised face represent how the people are suffering from the disease. 

The day, twilight and night represents how the people in different time zones are working day and night on finding a cure for the virus.

The houses represent quarantine and lockdown.

The girl and the boy sitting in the balcony represents how people are giving time to each other while worrying about the pandemic.

Nevertheless our interest to learn and explore is not limited to the virus or the pandemic which is proved by the recent launch from SpaceX and NASA to the moon on 30th May 2020.

The virus holding the earth represents that it has taken over the whole world. 

The sad part of the earth is calling for help.

And the warriors are above everything and putting so much effort to save the world from this deadly virus.

How I Developed This Project

I chose to paint for I believe that painting is more powerful than words. I believe that a single painting has the ability to represent a thousand ideas in a simple yet impactful way. After all we all love and need a little colour in our lives to soothe our soul.
