Blowing In The Wind

Blowing In The Wind  belongs to In Quarantine, a series of five drawings commenting and reflecting on my personal experience during the pandemic while attending school at the University of Rochester. I completed these drawings in a virtual art class, often looking outside my window at the mowed lawn and wild dandelions (the school's official flower). The first drawing is a still life of an object we all know well. The second drawing compares the spread of the virus to the spread of dandelion seeds blowing in the wind. The next image is a continuous line of swirls, never disconnecting from itself, in a distorted model of the virus. The series ends with a mask being picked up from the grass, and quotes from former President Trump about the pandemic.
