]]> I felt that I needed to depict the current climate and how our everyday lives have dramatically changed, with a visual representation of the uncertain and precarious times we are experiencing, whilst we strive to attain some normality. The woman in the illustration is embarking upon her first evening out, subsequent to months of isolation. Her eyes express a myriad of emotions consequential to this event, which can be elicited as trepidation, excitement, anxiety, uncertainty, bewilderment. I added my “Star Turn” character to her mask, as she tries to accessorise it as a fashion item, in an attempt to less emphasize it’s purpose.

I struggled to coin a phrase which incorporated the word “antiviral” thus the title “Antibacterial Girl” as the woman in the scene is applying a hand sanitiser whilst engaged in deep thought. I leave it open to interpretation by the observer as to what it is that has her so preoccupied.

]]> I was inspired to create the image having stumbled upon a few articles which describe a hexagonal vortex located on Saturn’s South Pole. I played around with the theme, and just allowed my imagination to meander which eventuated in colourful nebulae, to which I added stars. I then veered away from the space theme, and drew the woman featured.

She is portrayed with her hands open and pointing upwards. Between the palms of her hands is a cube, which is also hexagonal when seen in the two dimensional plane. I wanted to depict an otherworldly illustration which inspires thought into the philosophical concepts of life, space and time.

I have, and have always had, an avid fascination with the metaphysical and the mysteries which arise from the age old questions, such as “why are we here?” and “what is life?”.
