Nobody expected 2020 to be like this, but it has really been a tough pill to swallow in more ways than one. This year, people around the world are filled with thoughts of fear and worry about the violence and the pandemic of the 21st century—the coronavirus.
People have been encouraged to stay home and must do everything they can to stay at home. All theaters, cinemas, and schools have closed to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. All hospitals around the world are filled with patients, some even unable to help others.
And in order to reflect on the world’s current situation and show us how to adapt to these uneasy and extreme times, a 39-year-old artist named Alireza Pakdel from Iran decided to create mindful illustrations and share them with us.
His illustrations capture the harsh reality of those who sacrifice themselves to take care of us and show how to fight the spread of this invisible enemy. Doctors, policemen, firefighters, and nurses are the protagonists of these illustrations, whom we must respect.
Through these illustrations, Pakdel masterfully highlights the power of solidarity, empathy, and protection for one another. Scroll down to check for yourself!
