Blueprint for a Breathless World

Across these veils three characters interact, overlap and infect one another:  the ‘princess’, from the painting Las Meninas by Velásquez, a Plague doctor and a dog that bears witness to the narrative unfolding before him. The landscape in which this takes place depict mountain ranges that map the rise and fall of the pandemic. In the night sky above float spacecrafts and astronauts, attached to the astronauts are the tubes and oxygen tanks needed for breathing.  Below the tumult, in the quiet depths, swim schools of salmon.
