The New Yorker by Malika Favre

Cavna, Michael. “Perspective | New Yorker Cover Beautifully Captures What You See Right before Surgery.” The Washington Post, 24 Oct. 2021, www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2017/03/28/new-yorker-health-issue-cover-beautifully-captures-what-you-see-right-before-anesthesia/.

 This piece is important to me and my style for many reasons. I often like to make pieces that have a connection to me or an experience and that make me feel something. This piece although made and used in 2017, reminds me of COVID. At the time of covid in 2020, I was in nursing school getting ready to graduate and was working on the first-ever covid unit at the hospital. This to me feels like wanting to close your eyes but all you can see is everything you encountered that day. It also does a great job of capturing the moment before sedation when you are nervous, scared anxious, and counting down from 10 to be under for your procedure (which was the actual purpose of the piece). This piece again utilizes only about 4 colors and but 3 of them are blue in different tones.
