Heard Immunity

The earliest biological development of the ablity to hear is said to have been one of the first defenses that increase the individual’s ability to survive. The Cochlea is the part of the ear that receives sound vibrations that are moved to the the brain and translated into words and meaning to sounds. Sculpture represents a play on words of “Herd Immunity” and ”Heard Immunity”… it is with a degree of frustration that I say we dont reach the first herd without first processing the second word.

A study done by the World Health Organization divided into group of numbers of people and their willingness to receive Covid vaccination.These numbers are depicted here by colored vials represent the groups on a Cochlea shaped sculpture.

1. Red Definitely will get vaccinated  46 %

2. Blue Probably will get vaccinated 19%

3. Yellow Not sure if will get vaccinated 10%

4. Green Probably will not get vaccinated 19%

5. Pink Definitely not get vaccinated 6%
