My artwork shows the overwhelming stress and frustration nurses and other medical professionals felt during the COVID-19 pandemic. I tried to depict the mourning, loss and incredible endurance of these people, and how much I feel for them. Having lost my dad during the pandemic, I know firsthand how much stress these poor people were under, caring for such an influx while being understaffed and underpaid.
