Item description
A drawing divided into four panels done in a sketchy, watercolor style. Panel 1: In the top panel is a blue couch with a figure lying across it. In the corner of this panel is the word “Home” circled in red with three arrows coming off the circle: wording off of the first arrow reads “Quiet no people that I don’t want to see”; the second arrow reads “familiar”; and the third arrow reads “Safe: no unexpected surprises.” Panel 2: A square with a blue watercolor-style background. There is a brown cabinet with a tv that is off resting on top of it. In the center of the panel is a hand holding a tv remote. Panel 3: In the same perspective as panel 2 with the cabinet and the tv. But, the tv is displaying a graph steadily increasing. The TV reads “UK coronavirus death toll passes 75,000” in red. The bottom of the screen reads “Christmas restrictions being debated”. Surrounding the TV are red scribbles. Panel 4: The same blue watercolor background. There is a box creating a border in the panel. Spanning the inside the box, two hands, one blue and one red, reach out to each other. In the left upper corner of the box are gravestones. In the bottom left corner there is a blue surgical mask. On the right side is a doctor wearing an apron, mask, face shield, goggles, and gloves. Written repeatedly in red in the center of the panel is “This is never going to end.” Overlapping that writing reads “How many more” five times. The figure from the first panel stands in front, only the back of their head and shoulders visible.

This is a page taken from a ten page comic I made about feeling overwhelmed, stressed and isolated during the pandemic. Again it was about being inundated with news about serious global issues, but rather than feeling angry and defiant like my other work, this comic was about feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders and feeling isolated in quarantine. At the end of the comic the character speaks to a friend and learns to take time to themselves, realising they can't fix everything.I wanted to express my own feelings of stress, anger, anxiety and frustration about the political landscape during the pandemic. I wanted others to know they weren't alone. I wanted to shout about what we needed to change.
