I don't know what I can say about this. It's open to your own interpretations, which I would love to hear. The issue of HIV/AIDS and the way it affects people is an issue very close to my heart. Please, take some time and visit websites like [link] to learn more about this disease.

Acrylic on board, roughly 2 x 2.5 ft, various body and scenery photographic references from google images, idea by me. I can't judge the time on this, it's taken me forever.

Crit if you want, but I rushed it at the end.

EDIT: I've taken off the Ideologically Sensitive filter because this is a lot more damn tame than what you can find on the most popular page of this website with the tag 'AIDS'. I'm sickened by the disgusting humour surrounding AIDS by people who call themselves artists. Deviations showing people playing 'AIDS tag', and a man celebrating AIDS day by getting friendly with a monkey? And these are among the most popular deviations with that title. They're not all like that, most are thoughtful and address the issue. But some are disgusting. I fear to type the words 'CANCER' into the search engine and find the same thing, but I know I won't because Cancer is serious and AIDS a joke, right?

I've lost quite a bit of faith in the human race.
