A few months into the pandemic, around the middle of summer, I was getting bored. Not bored in terms of nothing to do, but surprisingly, I was getting tired of ads. After watching hours of YouTube and Snapchat every day for months, the ads that I saw became repetetive, and I was really getting tired of them. I was noticing the ads more than the videos I was watching, and I just got tired of it. As a result, I started moving towards more fulfilling things, like being out in nature and playing music on my piano. Surprisingly, I didn't force myself to do these things like I did in the beginning of the pandemic, but they just came naturally to me. The crumpled up magazine page in the corner represents my rejection of advertisements, and the central focus of my piano represents moving on to higher, more fulfilling, natural things.

We’re seeing dramatic differences in rates of COVID infection, illness, and death in different places. What do you think about these differences?
Because people are 🤬 That was my first thought. Ignorance, disregard for anyone other than themselves and complete lack of common sense is killing people and ruining or negatively affecting the lives of everyone else. I know that places like NJ are seeing lower numbers as we are more strict but honestly - who I am to judge other states where numbers are higher? Leadership makes a huge difference and that is why I believe NJ is doing better than some. The culture where I live seems to follow basic rules but I will tell you - after hearing stories of lifeguard parties at the beach where attendees get sick (lifeguards!!) and the voices of entitlement on the YouTube Board of Education meeting in my town demanding they pay less taxes if their kids are not in school full time. Stupid and ignorance is everywhere and given the chance it will thrive. COVID is never far behind.
