    Disinfect
    (2020-12-10) Vilches, Itzel
    In a pandemic, our physical belongings aren't the only thing we should frequently wipe clean from viruses. With every notification and news headline, my headspace became contaminated with thoughts of anxiety, doubt, and fear of the future. I was inspired by a poem of a fellow UTSA student.

    It's all the same
    (2020) Herrera, Madeline
    This print was inspired by personal accounts, rooted in those around my life and general themes of isolation that many faced in 2020. As I absorbed the projects did themes of loss, mental struggles and a sense of chaos come to the forefront. The feeling of being in the between, as time almost withering away while daily responsibilities became an overwhelming background noise to a world on fire.

    The Walls Stare Back
    (2020-12-10) Jimenez, Lily
    This picture is inspired by my recent trials in a 2-week quarantine. Essentially trapped by the walls of my room with no opportunity of leaving my space, the idea of being confined overrode my thoughts. As I analyzed the area in which I had become so used to over two weeks, I noticed the physical and metaphorical busyness of a room with three doors all placed within mere feet of each other. Despite these doors' presence and the cliché metaphor of doors being a symbol of opportunity, they appeared warped in my mind, slowly encroaching upon my space and tightening my perceived bubble of comfort. The ceiling speaks a similar story; when I stared at it, it felt as if it was looking back at me as it inched closer, further pressing me between itself and the walls. The structure of the room engulfs the viewer with its entrancing, warping lines.
