Artwork description:

During the 19th century, the plague reached epidemic proportions in London. Plague Doctors were sent out to quarantine affected individuals; however, some of the affected individuals refused to believe they are already dead so they attempt to escape from the quarantine booth. They spread the news via phone no quicker than the spreading of the plague itself. Standing on London’s iconic telephone phone kiosk panel is a stretcher or death bed.

This three-dimensional contemporary artwork incorporates architectural elements, and one of my signature motifs is the metallic figures, which typically stand straight up with their hands closed to their thighs and no faces visible. A hat or helmet is worn instead of a face to make it more interesting and mysterious to not know who they are or what they are up to. In various artworks, each hat and helmet serves a distinct purpose. The wardrobes are simple and uncluttered, allowing the hat or helmet to tell the story. The character is distinguished by his headgear rather than his clothing. Some of the characters are equipped with fashion accessories to complete the story. They incorporate some of my motifs, such as metallic angels, pilots, astronauts, deep-sea divers, firefighters, and surrealist figures.
