The Sun
2000–2001

A stylized artistic representation of a virus, with a central round body featuring exaggerated facial features such as a large frowning mouth and squinted eyes. The virus is surrounded by various cartoon-like figures wearing white coats and holding syringes, seemingly attacking or engaging with the virus. The background is a textured yellow, and there are handwritten numbers and text along the bottom edge of the image.
