Rose Red

This girl is covering her face with a makeshift plastic mask. Red is the color of danger, and of course Covid has put us all in danger. She is devoid of expression because she is numb. After so many months of shelter in place and the continual warnings, she is drained. This images has 9 layers on texture on it. The textures were created with photographs of cement around my neighborhood.
