Artist Statement: With the current lockdowns due to COVID-19, I tend to have all the time in the world. I was always used to being busy, a life full of school, work, and much more. Now, sitting with myself, I feel uncomfortable with all the time I have. I have a sense of fear that slowly, my own mind will turn in on itself and take me down, one insecurity at a time. There’s no way to outrun my mind, especially as there’s nothing to fill the time void except online work and new hobbies.
