Abstract
This piece is a digital self-portrait that I created in Adobe Illustrator around the beginning of spring when the snow was starting to melt. During this time of year, I usually will end up with a sudden case of a nasty flu that most of the time clogs my nasal system and makes me constantly cough like a barking sealion. No matter how much I try to wash my hands or cover my mouth, I always catch it from someone else in my family around the same time almost every year. The worst part of being sick is when you still need to go out into town for your classes at university and/ or the grocery store for a supply run and usually ends up uncontrollably coughing and sneezing loudly in front of everyone which will draw unwanted attention to an issue that you can’t really control. I mainly used the color green in this picture to represent illness and the gross feelings associated with getting sick on the face and on the floating orbs to represent how it is almost impossible to avoid getting sick.
