PPE Pandemic & Conflict Portraits

Digital Photograms of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) worn by Australian front line healthcare workers and similar to those worn in recent conflict zones.PPE provides protection from infectious particles but not from dangers and varying psycho emotional states suffered over time from working in these conditions. The diaphanousness of PPE allows a photographic inverse like the alternative process of creating photograms. Using a digital process also allows an inverse of colour and luminosity while maintaining a likeness to medical imaging.
