Cosine

The definition of Cosine is:
co·sine

/ˈkōˌsīn/ - The trigonometric function that is equal to the ratio of the side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle) to the hypotenuse.

This is my definition:

Taken the word from a mathematical term in trigonometry to give order to the COVID-19 situation. A cosine for me represents a sign of order in a chaotic fluctuation of angles, wanting to find the order in the mist of tumultuous time. It is also therapeutic art making where I state the order but provide visuals that do not explain anything instead mimics the nonsensical behavior of certain people. Most of the images made are created by using many different applications (drawing, charts, grid makers, 3D apps and a large selection of video editing programs) that are made for the purpose to convey order & information but I distort their function and use for them to make incomprehensible videos. They have a scientific look without generating information.
