This
painting represents the general dismay during the COVID period, when
the only means of salvation was the vaccine, which for a long time
was indeed "unreachable." I sought to outline, not without
bitter irony, the paradox of the vaccine hoarding by cunning and squalid individuals. The mannequin lunging at the vial will almost certainly
meet a bad fate, but its shadow (the hidden and dark side that lies
within each of us) will manage to save itself.
The
tripartite structure is deliberately inspired by David's famous "The
Oath of the Horatii,"
which emphasizes the gravity of the moment.
