January 2020 heralded the worst bush fires in Australian history, destroying millions of acres, houses,heritage sites.As an Australian artist I watched as the fires uncontrollably spread across the country and a State of Emergency was declared.In February as the fires were finally contained and the recovery process began, Covid 19 hit our shores and a National lockdown was declared, enforcing social isolation and self quarantining.
This image is my creative response to the haunting unease felt globally regarding climate change ,pandemics and mental wellbeing.
