About this work

This print shows a doctor in a white coat giving a massage to a patient lying on a table. The patient’s back has red splotches, and the room is dim with a single bright light shining down. The doctor’s hands are gentle, but the scene feels tense. The title at the bottom reads *Kaposi’s Sarcoma*—a skin condition linked to AIDS. The artist wrote that the patient “positioned himself to me, like he wanted to be touched.” Check out Sue Coe to see how her work tackles tough social issues.
