It starts with an image that has become the "new normal" during lockdown, a girl's face wearing a generic face mask - but that face soon goes under in a tub full of blood, and the girl (Kade Tabin) soon appears again drawing very disturbing portraits, the most unsettling aspects of them soon re-appearing painted on her body. What all this so compelling though is how all of this perfectly mirrors all the fears and uncertainties of the early days of "the Corona", painting a nightmarish picture the horrors of which though hide in the images rather than being hammered home - and these images are strong enough for sure to creep the viewer out on a subliminal level.<p>Pretty great work, actually.<p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2020"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
