"A Day in the Life"

My informal portrait collection depicts various moments of life and time passing while in quarantine.  These often mundane, repetitive and daily activities feel very relatable as a figure is trapped inside their personal interior.  I am exploring the concept of what we do when there is nothing else to do and how the psychological effects of Covid-19 are present.  My subjects are my family members existing and occupying space through moments of forced leisure.  Cropped within a painted world, the moments I have chosen to depict are often displacement activities within spaces I am most familiar where I witnessed my family spending the most time as they face an internal conflict- are they immobilized from stress or enjoying their time lounging in captivity?  These are glimpses into what my family’s everyday life has been like within our own world through moments that symbolize the passing of time through contemporary realism.
