"Tactile Update"
Bronze and mixed media
This sculpture's map contains bars that represent the number of COVID-19 in each state. Thicker bars always represent higher case numbers. Having seen so much of this pandemic digitally, I wanted to play with that idea and create a tactile representation of the current pandemic in lieu of the digital information.
