Dear future us : remember these moments , 2020
100 x 100 in (h x w)
2x2 Painting Series

Forty days ago, I began drawing every day as part of The 100 Day Project, the annual creative challenge in which participants make something every day for 100 days. It was April 7, just a few weeks after California's statewide shelter-in-place order first took effect. It was also the day of the Wisconsin primary. While catching up on the news that morning, my attention was grabbed by a photo of masked voters standing in line, especially the woman holding a sign that read, "This is Ridiculous." I couldn't shake that image from my thoughts. After weeks of sheltering in place, I struggled to comprehend the absurdity of asking people to go out and risk their lives to exercise their right to vote. I felt helpless. So I cut a small square of paper, took out my pen, and began to draw. I thought about the 1918 flu pandemic and how Philadelphia had refused to cancel a parade after the virus began spreading, going on to become one of the hardest-hit cities in the U.S. The words "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" rattled around my head, and I knew that I wanted to contribute to the world's collective memory of our current times. Dear Future Us: Remember These Moments are tiny 2 x 2 paintings that capture the slices of life that together make up our experience of living amid a global pandemic. In the future, please don't forget what we're going through now. Please remember these moments.
