Menigtus



in reply to my question asking about if he has ever been stopped from doing things because of his heart transplant, adam told me how he is not allowed vaccinations as his immune system doesn't work so any vaccination would have the adverse effect on him. when adam was at school and his class mates received the meningitis vaccination, adam actually caught the meningitis off classmates who had had to vaccination.
so... to communicate this part of his story, i thought about creating a pattern of the meningitis virus under the micro scope much like the images above and subtly add this to my illustrations. i like the idea that the microscope pattern is unrecognisable to the virus, and therefore will just appear like a random pattern within the illustration, poses a unanswered question in viewers minds as to why its there. only making sense when you find out about adams story.
