ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「What does the pandemic look like? To Ansel Oommen, an artist and clinical lab technologist, it looks like this. At the beginning of the Covid-19 outbreak, he was the first person to see positive coronavirus test results in the large New York City hospital where he works. “It was a strange feeling to be in a quiet lab all by myself and yet feel this immense gravity of a brewing storm looming overhead,” he said. To cope, he began deconstructing bright biohazard labels with scissors, then reconstructing them with surgical precision on the floor of his Manhattan apartment. “To metabolize trauma and grief, I resort to the arts, because it's a way to convert something intangible and make it into something that has form,” Oommen said. Oommen also believes that rearing butterflies and moths can have therapeutic effects. “In the process of taking care of something small, you take care of yourself,” he said. So far Oommen has made a dozen pieces for what he has titled “The Biohazard Collection,” which includes “Silent Spring,”“Cytokine Storm,“ “Immortal Lotus,” and “Contagious,” shown above.
