Photo by @joshirwandi The body of a suspected COVID-19 victim lies in an Indonesian hospital. After the patient died, nurses wrapped the body in layers of plastic and applied disinfectant to help prevent the spread of the virus. I took this photograph to raise awareness of the danger of coronavirus, to appreciate the work of the medical staff in Indonesia and around the world who risk their lives to save ours, and to remember that we must remain steadfast and united in the face of this pandemic of our lifetime. This image was published in Nat Geo’s August cover story on how past pandemics have left their mark. This work was created with the National Geographic Society COVID-19 Emergency Fund and @forhannafoundation Young Talent Grant. Click the link in bio to read more about the image.

The connection between images of wrapped bodies is purposeful…it was like a bomb in my head last night.

Is it strange, there are zero public service announcements like this floating around the US?

The way that bear puts his paw up to catch the door…he must be an expert!

    Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing well. I wanted to share something with you, my father had some test done and it seems they indicate he is going into heart failure. We are waiting on more test, but this is another blow to us. If I disappear you know that it may have to do with this latest shit. Love to you all. Wear your damn mask and send some good juju our way…💜💜💜
