About this artwork
March 2020 would mark the moment in time that our world changed forever. To date, (October 2023), 1,151,435 people have died in the US from Covid 19, and 6,977.023 worldwide. The impact of this pandemic brought a new vocabulary – new words, and familiar words that took on a new meanings. This work explores the most used words during these past two years, woven into fabric, broken apart and reassembled to create a visual portrait of this fearful virus that has affected all of us in profound and irreparable ways.
