The mask is one of nearly 50 in her growing art series “Feeble Barriers,” which features quotes from anonymous health care workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic.
The name “Feeble Barriers” refers to how the health care system acts as a barrier between the virus and the population and how daunting it can feel to face off against a pandemic, Raja explained.
Raja said “Feeble Barriers” is her way of giving voice to workers who care for patients affected by the coronavirus.
Raja said in addition to amplifying the voices of health care workers, “Feeble Barriers” paints a picture of what life is like right now.
Health care workers can contribute their thoughts and reflections to “Feeble Barriers” through Raja’s email address nirmalinbetween@gmail.com.
