The Red Cross Has All The Masks, 2020.
In February, the Red Cross in China got a large number of masks from international aid, destined for people in Wuhan, to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. Instead of distributing the masks to local hospitals, the Red Cross held on to them and distributed some to government officials. We condone the actions of the Red Cross, so we decided to create an object that would both mock and criticize the Red Cross, while at the same time invite people to take action. We created a green cross that invites someone to grab a mask and then disapproves of this by turning red and screaming at the moment people take it. Our cross is an art piece you could see in a wall at a museum, but could also be taken by activists to hospitals to raise awareness of the situation.
