An era of distrust in the air we breathe , 2020

Graphic Design

This work portrays a dancer wearing a WWI era gas mask while shielding their face from a linear current with their hands. Coming in contact with the dancer, the current splits from its ordered pattern and reconverges into a chaotic swirl behind them. Within the flow of alternating black and white lines, text is also flowing. The text is a sequenced compilation of news article headlines pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic published between January 8th and May 3rd of 2020. Throughout these articles, a major theme of distrust persisted over the months. Many individuals lacked trust in their governments to make the best public decisions, many didn’t trust their population to take responsible precautions, many doubted the media itself, and a fearful distrust of our own environment grew drastically as the virus took its toll. The artwork’s subject stands in the center of a closed sphere in which the headlines flow. This is meant to represent the constant bombardment of informational media we face while in self-isolation.
