Inspired by my neighbors walking past my house, wearing masks of various types, I wanted to capture all the life happening during the pandemic. Wearing a mask is a demonstration of love for people you don’t know; it is a profoundly hopeful piece of clothing. I personally have made over 2000 masks since during the pandemic; they make the community I live in (and some I don’t) safer and more comfortable.
All of the figures on my heart are people in the Bay Area, some sketched on the streets and markets, some from submitted photos.
