positivity

Back to art, back to reality...
I did a series of portraits many years ago of folks who were HIV positive. These pieces were composites from many interviews I had done & I tried to capture the ideas, feelings & spirit communicated therein to convey rather literally (or perhaps graphically would be more apt) the faces that can give a real human sense to this insidious disease.
I present this piece & the rest of the work in ensuing days in honor of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day~
