2020 Vision
Personal, 2020
An animated illustration created for my website homepage, reflecting on the personal and social tensions heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic. The work draws from periods spent offline, the exhaustion of witnessing conflict and performance on social media, cancelled travel plans and repeated attempts at self-improvement during an uncertain year. Clowns appear as a recurring motif, representing the cynicism I observed in myself and others. Inspired in part by Adrie Kusserow’s Mary Oliver for Corona Times—Thoughts after the Poem Wild Geese, the illustration considers withdrawal, solitude and the possibility of leaving an old way of living behind.
