“Breathing Zone”

Los Angeles, USA - While most of the submissions on this site have introduced artists whose work was cancelled or postponed because of the pandemic, there are also a few, like this one, whose creator found inspiration from the pandemic. From the submission: Initially started from a curiosity into the way in which my partner and I occupied our one bedroom apartment, this body of work explores the idea of social distancing amidst the Covid 19 epidemic. I was moved by the 3 to 6 feet rule which states that if I stand within 3 to 6 feet of someone, you may inhale some of what I exhale. The rule made me think of the space we inhabit as a bubble that is used as a measure of caution in public settings and how this thought is  and can be subconsciously carried in a private domestic space. The practice of distancing as a necessity in both private and public space. The lack of exchange between people forced by the possibility of inhaling some of what I exhale. The work was a directly influenced by our current situation and my motivation to slightly adjust a previous project to suit the current situation.
