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, that was experienced during the pandemic. During the "lockdown,” emotions varied greatly from grief and loss of a loved one to the boredom of a teenager stuck at home. The days stretched endlessly, whereby some people enjoyed an unrequested time off, while others searched frantically for things to do, due to the sudden lack of a routine.
