Le Fléau Magritte Valley was an artist known for her large complex installations. She lost her wife, who was a doctor, to the pandemic and was consumed by grief. This grief turned into rage with the focus being on those who refuse to follow the safety guidelines and who deny the severity of the virus.

When doctors tried to remove it, an acid pack was triggered killing him horrifically. Next was the Last Party in which victims who had continued to attend social gatherings were locked in a room and had proximity explosives attached to them that were triggered if they got within six feet of each other. She continues to create these torturous scenarios as a harsh reminder and the lethal consequences to those who chose to behave with ignorance during thes. She wears a series of stylized Plague Doctor masks and ornate death themed gowns to give her an additional air of menace when addressing her victims and the public.

Only two entries, but some fun discussions regarding the image which was cool to see. That being said the winner this time around is BoloOfEarth.

Following up on TJack's suggestion, I immediately thought of this Phil Cho art although it appears more tech inspired.

What is his story my fellow board members?

Not sure anyone has any interest in keeping this thread going, but i thought i would bump it up and see. I enjoy the exercise in imagination, but if no one else is interested i understand. Or maybe a change in the rules/format? I don't really have any suggestions, i just enjoyed participating. So thoughts are welcome, or we can just let this one fade away.
