I wanted to create something using remix/mash-up culture. The series is set to display pre, during, and “post” (now) of covid. I used collage, photography, found images, and artwork of my own to create the series.
Prior, I want to point out the red horse. I used it throughout to symbolize covid and tell the story. Keep an eye as it moves throughout the three scenes. Other symbols throughout this scene include the ideas of travel, gathering, public, and freedom.
During, this scene represents the thick of covid. I tried to describe the hard times and stresses we all felt throughout. Moving your eye from left to right, you will be able to see the negative impacts become more prominent. The symbols within this scene include; adapting, loss, new habits, connection, and love. And, of course, our red horse is front and centre.
Present, this final scene aims to represent the world as of now regarding covid. Everything is opening back up, and how we’re adjusting. The scene includes ideas of happiness, hope, new beginnings, the past, and the future. But, it’s not all roses. Included in the work are ideas of what we are coming out of. Covid is not gone; all eyes are on it, and it’s closer to all of us than ever. But slowly making its way out and allowing us to adapt.
