Comfort During Covid

A 10-week research project [2021] identifying what brought students comfort during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Funded by the Ezra Stiles Richter Summer Fellowship, Comfort During Covid is a series of six mixed media visual art pieces based off of student experiences throughout the pandemic. Rather than highlight individual stories, these pieces attempt to bridge the collective emotions we may have felt while isolated from one another.
