Artwork Description

This portrait represents the impact of becoming a first-time parent during COVID-19. Beyond the individual subjects, this artwork is a statement of solidarity with the many families whose impending birth progressed regardless of lockdowns or restrictions. Rituals, including baby showers, were overshadowed, villages were kept apart, but joy perseveres in isolation.
