Danger strikes mankind suddenly! 
One that knows no boundaries and transcends pain,

Confusion, anxiety, and loneliness fell like piercing rain,
A time our bustling world screeched to a halt and Covid gained,
Humanity fought hard in different formations to have this deadly scourge tamed, 
Tireless efforts. Unrelenting spirits. Unwavering hope.

Mankind has once again proven its resilience to survive,
As we watched on, through vacs, screens and masks, the new necessities of life, 
We begin to realise how we really needed one another to thrive,

Goodness will prevail through 
the shining amours and light,

The colours of life restored, in all hues and might,
The closer we look, the more we will see it right,
To defeat the plight... we all need unity in diversity!

About The Artist

Jacky Tsai is a multimedia Chinese artist based in London. Spanning from traditional canvas to NFT real-time based digitals, Tsai’s artworks integrate Eastern ideology and cultural symbols with Western Pop art icons and motifs, creating alternative narratives and realities by constantly reflecting on ours. Through unifying the differences and similarities between cultures, Tsai’s works provoke viewers to rethink intercultural relationships and aim to establish tension as well as harmony between cultural representations.

Many of his works explore classical Chinese artistry, enabling his works to bring focus onto the exquisite yet forsaken craftsmanship. These various mediums act as devices to present his work in past, present and future tenses, emphasising the residue of time.
