Taking Back the Power through 3D Modelling

This was a project I made while dealing with the stress of the coronavirus affecting my family and friends in Queens. I drew up, 3D modeled, and rendered a model of the coronavirus with spherical polygons shaped using python and math. The model was made with repeating spheres distorted by different variables. Using these variables, I can also duplicate the computerized version of the virus indefinitely. Living just a walk away from the current epicenter of COVID-19, Elmhurst, Queens, every day of life now is profoundly shaped by this disease, with family members currently hospitalized and suffering from this pandemic. This piece is me taking the power back by making the virus, manipulating it, and containing it within my own virtual creation.
