WHAT RISKS DO WE EXPOSE OURSELVES TO?

Personal Protection Equipment shines a spotlight on the relationship between healthcare volunteers and those infected with the Ebola virus during the deadly 2014-2016 outbreak in West Africa. People experienced great heartbreak, but ultimately defeated the blood borne virus that affected the lives of thousands. The artwork evokes the strict regime and choreography required to keep healthcare workers safe, whilst highlighting the capillary system that stretches throughout our bodies: a life force, and an achilles heel.
