COVID-19 SCENARIO & IT'S IMPACT ON HUMAN LIFE 3

Santanu Dey

COVID-19 is the biggest global event—and challenge—of our lifetimes. As such, it is changing human attitudes and behaviours today and forcing organizations to respond. However, the need to respond won’t end when the virus’s immediate threat eventually recedes.

In the future, we will find a return to normalcy in many aspects of life. But there’s no question that many things will change, possibly forever. COVID-19 has altered the experience of being a customer, an employee, a citizen and a human. Expect to see behavior shifts for some time to come.

We, the Humans have evolved to be social creatures. They are wired to live in interactive groups. Being isolated from family, friends and colleagues can be unbalancing and traumatic for most people and can result in short or even long-term psychological and physical health problems.

When one looks at masses of people trapped in fear and uncertainty, many of them high on anxiety, depression and frustration, it is a volcanic situation which can be triggered off with any little provocation.

The series depicts a story behind Coronavirus and its impact on people & nature. From cities under lockdown to most affected communities, I look at how the people are desperately trying to be normal as the outbreak of the deadly virus COVID-19 affects lives around the world.

I have become more patient and thoughtful.

Self-Portrait (Feeling Discombobulated)

A photograph of a woman wearing an abstracted paper mache mask. The mask is a self portrait, featuring the facial features (eyes, eyebrows, nose, and lips) of the artist as printed photographs, creating an uncannily realistic appearance. The features on the mask are distorted and rearranged, illustrating the piece’s title, “Feeling Discombobulated.”

Self-Portrait (Woven/Coming Undone)

A series of six images of a portrait of a woman wearing paper mache masks with realistic human features in front of a white background.

Self-Portrait (Coming Undone- Rice Paper Variation)

A series of images displays the sequence of a rice paper mask crumbling away from a woman’s face. In the first image, the artist holds a gray rice-paper mask over her face. Throughout the series of images, she presses the mask to her face repeatedly as the mask crumbles into smaller and smaller pieces. It crumbles away at her touch, even as she attempts to hold it to her face. Throughout the series, the mask becomes more fragmented. In the last image, the mask falls away displaying the artist’s face.

Origami Self-Portraits

A series of twelve photographs displaying a woman wearing origami sculptures as partial masks. The sculptures include paper cranes, frogs, boxes, cootie catchers, and butterflies. Each origami sculpture is printed with a photograph of one or more of the artist’s facial features. She holds the masks so that the printed feature covers that portion of her face.

Self-Portrait (Body Language)

A compilation of several photographs in a four by four grid taken during the artist’s performance with 'skin' suits (tan body suits). The artist’s body is obscured by a black bodysuit, which blends into the black backdrop seamlessly. She poses dynamically, draping the tan body suit over herself, creating twisted, abstract poses. These poses express movement and gestures, reminiscent of letters in a written language. Attached to some of the poses, and detached from others, are paper mache masks of the artist’s face.

Urgent Revolution 8

A person stands in the doorway of a white room within a house. They have short, dark hair, are wearing small framed glasses, a floral patterned shawl-like shirt with a brown, cowl neckline, a dark red, gold, and green paisley skirt, and black shoes. They pose for the picture with their right arm upwards in a “rock on” sign, a gold ring on their pinky and their tongue slightly bitten between his teeth. The shirt lifts with their arm to expose a patch of white skin. Next to them on the left is a bin of clothes with a rendition of the starry night painting by Van Gogh on the wall above it.
