As communities all over the world face a modern-day pandemic, people are left to a new societal order. Concepts such as isolation and distancing, as well as technological connectivity, appear to acquire unprecedented meanings today. While many suffer from a lack of face to face communication, the bytes and metadata of unbounded Internet have become tyrannical. The shocking disruption and death caused by the Coronavirus, the unprecedented economic toll, violations of human rights, and immigration issues, all exponentially intensify a sense of alienation and anxiety. Acutely sensitive to their environment, artists often voice awareness of these problems, while having the gifts to turn our societal troubles into inspiring visual poetry.
