Virologic Assault premiered on World AIDS Day, 1 December 2025.

In 2025, the narrative around HIV has fundamentally shifted. What was once a death sentence has become, for many people, a manageable chronic condition through pharmaceutical intervention.

This transformation masks a more complex reality, the ongoing biological siege at the cellular level. Moving beyond traditional HIV imagery, Virologic Assault examines the viral assault beneath the medical success story.

The collection of 30 Rothko-inspired works explores the nuanced psychological, physical, and existential landscape of chronic assault, the cellular warfare that persists beneath undetectable viral loads and inflammation, and survival responses within the contemporary HIV experience. These works occupy a nuanced ground of contemporary chronic illness, the ongoing biological negotiation, cellular adaptation, and unexpected beauty found within a perpetual viraemic siege.
