In the spirit of Susan Chen’s playful paintings of hand sanitizers, allow me to introduce her show with a limerick poem:

Just when you thought, no more pandemic
And your very last Purell a relic
This delusion is tainted
By the bottles Chen painted
Cause of all our ails, apathy is the most pathogenic.

— Hakim Bishara
