FAKE
“After I created my tribute to all healthcare professionals around the world, “Super Nurse” has gone viral: It’s been published on covers of magazines and newspapers, it’s on display in a museum and it has been projected on hospitals all over the world. In collaboration with Julianne Moore and Represent, we have raised more than 20.000 hot meals for first responders in the US.
If this experience has taught me one thing, it is that art really has power and impact. “
