The Rise of Domestic and Social Ills in the Face of COVID-19 Titled “A Cage of Circumstances”, the piece depicts someone sitting on the floor in a crouched-over position trapped in a cage with the Corona virus surrounding the cage. the artwork presents a double-edged sword concept: trapped on the inside with an abusive situation and trapped from socialising on the outside where there is some level of peace. The roughness of the brush strokes, contortion of the body, the scar, testifies to the fact that many are trapped at the moment. The figure was not given a face because it represents all genders.
