Cosmic Origins
The Weight of the Epidemic
A haunting monochrome vision of grief, resistance, and survival. A coffin marked “EBOLA” becomes both a literal burden and a symbolic monument to lives lost amid fear, political conflict, and social upheaval. Protesters and police confront one another beneath a storm-darkened sky while demands for truth, dignity, and human welfare rise above the chaos. The work explores how public health crises can become arenas of power, where suffering is politicized and mourning transforms into collective defiance. Through its raw, expressionistic intensity, the piece captures the fragile boundary between tragedy and resistance.
