Unmask. A study of pandemic form.
"Unmask" is a reflection piece created at the beginning of the pandemic and exhibited in Prague. I explored the profound impact of COVID-19 and systemic injustice. Amid quarantine in Brooklyn, ambulances wailed and the death count soared, I worried about my students and their struggles in lockdown.
The upheaval continued with riots, protests, and widespread mistrust of racist systems. New York grappled with both health and social crises. By July, death tolls stabilized, but the pain lingered. Tasked with developing a virtual art curriculum, I turned to cardboard city-building as a creative response. Through it all, I questioned how art can stay relevant, address loss, and remain impactful. © 2020
