Fragments from an Outbreak
by Chinenye Ezema
Painted 12/2020 on a 16x20 canvas
Artist’s Statement:
I made this painting to capture the mix of fear, uncertainty, hope, and loss experienced during the pandemic. During the "lockdown", emotions varied greatly from the grief and loss of a loved one to the boredom of a teenager stuck at home. The days stretched endlessly, where some people enjoyed an unrequested time off, while others searched frantically for things to do due to the sudden lack of routine.
