In the last few months, life as we know it has completely changed. Certainty and normal routines were replaced by insecurity, challenges, and sometimes fear. We’ve been forced to reexamine our priorities and change our habits in the hope of preventing the spreading of this worldwide disease. In response to this pandemic, we hope our Country will learn to come together, state by state, city by city, neighborhood by neighborhood. Although challenging, this time is becoming our chance to reveal the good around us, to show the strength we did not know we had, to cherish friends, and to thank the people who are working every day to keep us safe. We are putting our families, loved ones, and their health first, leaving our empty workplaces, outdoor spaces, and even our inner comfort zone behind.

Thank you! What a powerful exhibit. It captured the essence of Covid beautifully. It showed sadness, awe, hope, beauty, wonder, life, healing, hardship and was an excellent balance. Thank you for this exhibit!
Very impressed with this exhibit and how the virtual tour is handled… Beautiful. I look forward to also seeing it in person. Thank you for all the work put into it!
Beautiful fabric of memories that tied us together from a distance yet through these images, it all feels like we were not alone experiencing the shock of what has become our new normal.
Feel honoured to be part of the exhibition – thank you!
What an impressive show! Really nice blend of imagery and creative scope. Thanks for the pleasant trip into the reality of what is happening all around us from the comfort of our screens and makeshift work stations. Just need the wine and cheese and I am all set!
A wonderful reflection of joy, happiness, and perseverance. I am honored to be a part of this exhibit and am grateful to have the opportunity. Thank you, Federica, Denise, and of course, Nick.
A wonderful exhibition of images that shows how each artist see’s what we have gone through in the past several months. Congratulations to each and everyone of you. I enjoyed the virtual tour.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful exhibit for all of us during this unprecedented time.
Kudos to Federica, Denise and all the contributors. Really well done!
“A picture is worth a thousand words” is an English language adage meaning that complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a single still image, which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description.
Such a beautiful exhibit, it captures so much of what is going on during the pandemic.
Beautiful work!!
