Friends at the Gala
, 2020
14 x 11 in (h x w)
Mixed media collage
THIRD PLACE WINNER
This work celebrates the friendship and social connections that we are missing during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. When we fast forward to the future, though, these ladies are once again standing shoulder-to-shoulder, posing for a photograph. Based on their happy, off-beat attire, I imagine that they are attending the opening reception of an art exhibit.
