Limbo

In my final project, Limbo, I wanted to convey feelings of disconnection. I think that having lived through the coronavirus pandemic, quarantining has given me a lot of time to reflect on the importance of social connection and its effect on the rest of my life and wellbeing. I ended up spending so much more time in my room alone that the days began to blur together, my mental health grew worse, I found it harder and harder to stay in contact with friends from school. My room became this weird liminal space, where nothing about it felt substantial; everything was just temporary in my mind until I could get back to "normal." It felt like I was living in limbo, waiting to get back to my life

The pandemic has affected all of our lives in ways we never expected. Not only does it disrupt how we interact with each other at a fundamental level, but it has affected us all for over a year now. In my artworks, I tried to convey these emotions of feeling trapped, disconnected, and in transition, through themes of water, outer space, and transportation.
