Everyday Pandemic Life
Artist Statement
These objects on the table are objects I use every single day. Whether it is just staying healthy, stuff for school or stuff just getting me through everyday life. I liked the flat lay aspect to this project since we haven't done one since the very early part of the shut down. I think these objects really symbolize the way I spend the better half of my day and is is kind of like an upside compared to the bottom which is just to kill time.
Coping with Trouble
Artist Statement
Exactly as the title states, these are a few of the coping strategies I use. A lot of them are playing outside, working out, or playing video games. Most of the time I do these things because I enjoy them but once in a while the purpose is to release frustration going on through my day. However, the movie, cards, and chess are exceptions. These are all hobbies I used to do all the time but stopped after a while. Now I didn't stop watching movies it was just the fact I hadn't seen the hobbit and lord of the rings in years. But now my family plays chess and cards and my brother and I have started to watch the lord of the rings and hobbit movies again and that is the cheerful aspect to my coping strategies.
