Covid Cities
The foreground is a mixture of lines from several time periods of the pandemic, showing the delicate dance between population movement and covid cases. The background is separated into three blocks of colour. From left to right: green, light blue, and blue.

Image Description: I created several COVID-19 case plots for Toronto, London, and New York City, capturing changes in public movement using cellphone data and simultaneously plotting changes in covid cases. I took 3 of these plots, cut and spliced them together, applied several filters to get this saturated look and created an oval image in the background to give the feeling of a globe (as this is a global issue, and these 3 cities are globally renown cities).

Why did you conduct this research? To try and generate and provide as much evidence in the fight against COVID-19.

Technique: I used SAS to generate the original line plots, MS Photo app to crop and style the 3 images, and paint to splice them together.
