Day Zero - My Experience With Quarantine

Provide us with a brief description of this object and, if it is not obvious, how it connects with the Chippewa Valley. For example, if this object is an image describe for us what the image displays and why it is significant.

The image I will be contributing is a visual representation of how I experienced quarantine and isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. It displays four images, each taken at different times of the day in the same location where I was quarantined. Each of the photos becomes more desaturated and grainy as time passes, and has included text and news articles. These images illustrate how every day felt the same, and how I had no motivation to move forward. Being stuck in a room for two+ weeks was hard on my mental health, and this project helps illustrate how difficult it is to go through something as severe as a pandemic.
