Christine Sloan Stoddard. April 22, 2020. Brooklyn, New York, USA.
Watercolor, pencil, chalk.
This time of quarantine has been marked by such limited face-to-face human interaction that I recently realized that when I finally see my loved ones in person again, we won't match our memories of each other. Digital representations are never quite true-to-life. My days are filled with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and FaceTime calls - sometimes for work, sometimes for pleasure. I take screenshots as I go along. I don't want to forget how I looked at the beginning of the pandemic and how my appearance changed. A little over a month into it and I am already a different New Yorker than I was before this COVID-19 era.
