Beijing artist paints wings on the angels of virus fight

A Chinese artist has paid tribute to doctors and nurses and their months-long battle to treat virus-stricken patients in his latest light painting creations.

Roy Wang and his team used the photographic technique of light-painting to 鈥渄raw鈥 white wings on the back of a model posing in a white hazmat suit, that has come to symbolize medical workers fighting the virus worldwide.

The model stood frozen as the camera shutter was opened, with Wang darting around her in the dark, using an electric light to draw in the air.

鈥淭he medical workers, in Chinese we call them 鈥榯he angels in white鈥 鈥 they are saving the human, saving us,鈥 he said.

鈥淪o I feel like I should create some light paintings to show respect for them.鈥

Wang also created a visual depiction of the virus, which has killed more than 40,000 around the world.

Wang鈥檚 next project is called 鈥淟ight the world up,鈥 in which he will collect inspiring words from his friends overseas and light-paints them in different languages.

鈥淭his is not just a problem for China, but a problem for the whole world,鈥 he said. 鈥淲e will get through the hard times, and the Earth will become better and better.鈥
