Assignments, Assignments, Assignments!
Many students including myself feel as though we aren't quite learning anything and more so just turning in assignments as the school is finding a way to make up for the lost time learning with more assignments. I wanted to portray the frustrations of this in a different way. I used paper to create the tears and eyebrows to better portray the emotions on a larger more obvious way as to project the feelings on to the viewer. The mask and computer make an appearance as to signal that this is happening online during covid.

Activism in a Time of Chaos
Since the death of George Floyd the Black Lives Matter movement has been fighting hard to bring racial inequalities and police brutality to light and bring those affected to justice. I stand with their views and was lucky enough to go a protest in town when the cases of covid were relatively low. Though this was a good for me to go I can't help but feel like I'm not doing enough for the cause and want to do as much as I can to raise awareness and support the movement as much as possible. I took a polaroid of me and my cousin with our signs before the protest which better captures the fresh feelings of anger and frustration of the whole situation as well as the obstacle of having to deal with the possibility of covid.
