“It started with the “bug” idea as it has viral connotations. I also like the idea of metamorphosis in insects with the hope that the virus will eventually mutate to a weaker strain….
The pattern on the moth's wings slow me to incorporate names of the people we are trying to protect by wearing masks.
On one side : the high risk folks: immunocompromised, with liver, lung, heart problems, people with diabetes….
On the other side: folks on the front line:
Doctors, nurses, EMTs, grocery workers, bus drivers, nursing home staff ….
The “eyes” on the wings: the Covid viruses
And 2 local ladies who passed from the Corona virus.”
