Choice over life

Choice over life, 2021, acrylic painting, represents the onset of COVID-19 and the different experiences it triggered, including depression or abuse. Mallika believes that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed unequal access to quality healthcare and has finally given doctors and scientists the overdue recognition they deserve. Through this artwork, she expresses her future worries about the use and disposal of masks and how our current practices risk having a devastating effect on our environment.
