This collage is inspired by the reality we are living as a family. My husband is at the front lines of fighting this diseases at his hospital: our daily interaction revolve around how many patients are gone and how many survived, is there enough protection and whether he is eating well, and an argument here and there for the risks he is dealing with. There is a sense of pride to be part of this and there is a sense of inherent anxiety with albeit an immediate need to be done with so we can have our family unit back. The word cloud images were done by the kids to honor Samrat. The other images and words are from an article about SUNY Downstate and some personal reflections. This almost feels like a horror movie at times and the end does not seem near but rather an ongoing script- which evolves by the minute.
Today’s word, DOCTOR, brought me back to the journal entry “hospital” which elicited the sense of colorless environment including the masks today doctors must wear. What if their masks contained messages, images, color? Thus today’s journal entry became about action and process.
