These days I've been making some more research for the project on the Internet. Again I have been looking at images of the Hepatitis C virus. The 3D images of the virus look so attractive, no one would say it can be so dangerous for your liver. These images show a very softened idea of the real consequences of being infected, they look so aseptic, so neutral, beautiful and colourful. When I look at these transparent pointed balls I cannot stop thinking there is a terrible contradiction between them and the experience of Kelvin thinking he would die as his liver was so damaged.
These images make it easy for me to understand Kelvin's confusion when he was first diagnosed in Bali with the disease and had no idea at all what the consequences of this would be. Looking at these images I feel the virus looks like a design for a pinball machine more than a threatening element that can deteriorate your liver to death.
