This work is a performative act for a camera which was done to celebrate world performance day in isolation organized by
Beyond Belfast performance group Same Difference – Equinox to Equinox.

This was the
work when lockdown had started in March and my reaction to this coronavirus
this is like an alchemist who is seeing a reflection in magical water made out
of turmeric and lime water slowly changing the color in orange and then
blood-red a mirror of future there melting candle drops which forms an image of
virus metaphorical representation making it visible through this act and I do
small act holding a toy gun in the forehead that this is suicidal what we have
humans have created. I am also wearing a mask with needles and holding a doll
which is us who become a mute spectator (a puppet) of what's unfolding now. It
is a metaphoric expression to the present state.
