"Dalili the Doctor" pays homage to Normal Rockwell's classic "Rosie the Riveter" while honoring frontline American healthcare workers during the deadly 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Modeled after real-life doctor Elizabeth Lord, the piece pays tribute to women of color, the Black Lives Matter movement, and "Sisters in Science" while the titular character steps on the cover of Donald Trump's book, "The Art of the Deal." The name "Dalili" means "omen" in Swahili.
