Item description
A photograph of a painting on a wooden easel. The painting depicts the famous African American basketball player Deandre Ayton pictured from waist up, while holding up a basketball. He has short black hair, a black mustache and beard, brown eyes, and is looking directly at viewers. He is wearing a #22 basketball jersey that depicts the silhouette of a sunset cityscape, as well as a gray sport sleeve on his left arm. He also has indistinguishable tattoos up his right arm, and peeking out from behind his jersey.

Overall I think during quarantine and this time in COVID-19 we have been able to take a look at all of the hobbies and different things we enjoy and really pursue them. Having this extra time to look at our works and focus on our crafts, which made all of mine for sure possible. I dont think I have enjoyed creating work like this before because in the past I wasn't able to focus on my work and put in time to advance in my pieces; I think the phobia project definitely was able to focus on the fears of the pandemic. I feel like when I was making the piece we were too new to the pandemic but now I feel like this piece definitely shows some of the real parts of COVID like being surrounded by crowds and lots of people.
