What inspired you to create this work or select this text for your submission?
When the pandemic hit, my studio was far away and not super accessible. I needed to make something to react to the moment and used the materials I had at my home. So to both express my anxieties of the current moment, I decided to make a timeline of what's happened. Now in September it's easy to forget the desperation for masks that gripped us all in March and April. It's easy to forget that hydroxychloroquine was a scandal and false lead for a treatment. Seeing it all laid out helped me remember.
