pietà was designed into a public health poster for amplifier's global open call for art:

In response to COVID-19, Amplifier and our partners are launching an emergency campaign with top art curators and public-health advisors from around the world.

We are currently looking for symbols that help promote mental health, well-being, and social change work during these stressful times. We are also looking for work that can envision the world we know is possible on the other side of this pandemic. What will we take with us and what will we leave behind? Show us your vision for that new world!
