I’m a cancer survivor. I went through chemo in 2019-2020. And I have had many friends over 2020 get cancer diagnosis and then go through chemo in 2020-2022. I chose to do a painting of a general person who is going through chemo instead of a self-portrait, because it can be anyone who is going through chemo and is immunocompromised. I want people who are on the fence about being vaccinated realize that even if it isn’t to protect themselves it is to protect the vulnerable. I want the piece to stand on its own, I believe that it will inspire the reaction and thought that is needed from person to person.
