With the current affairs involving the global pandemic, I am brought back to a reminder of mindsets. Whether we view our situation as just or not, from the individual masses I have seen a lack of compassion in regards to those affected. People my age not caring because they know it is only the older generation who can die from this. I made this piece as a reminder of the times when "this doesn't affect me" let a whole generation die off through suffering and pain. I had to watch my Uncle die in silence as I was the only one who understood the pain to a true extent. By the end of the 80's ~19,000 of my queer brothers and sisters, elders and mentors to my community, withered away due to the AIDS epidemic. Leaving the generation after to fend for themselves without the knowledge and wisdom of living in an illegal body has shown it's heavy toll on our community. I call to remind people of a time were gross negligence led to it no longer being a "not me" issue and becoming a universal issue. A reminder that we are greater than ourselves, greater than our selfishness. A reminder that people didn't have to die for nothing, that my Uncle and I don't have to hide in the shadows.  Using oversized gesture drawings from exclusively LGBT+ models I want to show the fragmentation of a community due to such a negligence that we are perpetrating again. .
