'SARS' artwork series brought by 123soho Featured Artist, Chin Chih Yang.

SARS, known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, is one of the killer viruses disseminating around the world since its first emerged in Southern China, in November 2002. China attempted to cover up the outbreak but the severity of the epidemic pushed Chinese officials finally to present a report on the illness to the WHO in late April 2003.

The the current issue, SARS, inspirits the artwork. The creation of the artwork satirizes the communist covering up the fact from the world at the beginning. Due to the hidden fact, the influence of SARS has brought the world fear, illness, and death. Certainly, our painfulness would have been less if the communist had chosen to speak-up at the first time.
