Conceptual Images Related To The Impact Of COVID-19
A couple of months ago, I wanted to create some conceptual images to capture the emotional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic then was still new, scary, and, in a way, exciting. Now it is only frightening.
How do people cope?
Do they cope?
I did not want to focus on the apparent pictures of people wearing face masks and social distancing (or not). I wanted to show the hidden anxieties and fears the pandemic triggers, a more conceptual approach to the 2020 pandemic's impact on people's minds.
That is how I came up with this set of five images that each link to a specific set of behaviors triggered by the pandemic.
The Anxiety triggered by the unknown;
The Separation from other people in daily life;
The Search for meaning;
The quest for an Escape;
And, unfortunately, the Wrong Exit all these thoughts and anxieties possibly could drive to.
