I think a lot of people assume that the world works in a predictable, logical, and linear way but if 2020 has taught me anything it’s that this isn’t the case. Expecting that things will actually go on as planned just perpetuates this fantasy.
Art and Life in the Time of Covid
It’s been six weeks since we’ve been quarantined and I’m feeling lucky for the privilege of being able to stay home. With everything happening in the world I know that art is not a priority for people.

For me personally it’s been an emotional rollercoaster thinking about everything that is happening, feeling the loss of so many people around the globe, and having so many drastic changes to my home and work life.
