Pre covid, during covid, and post covid, I see people becoming more "soloistic"...
In public places, I grab whatever tools I can find and draw them in quick strokes within minutes
ignoring certain drawing rules
My goal is to capture the mood they happened to be in
and the mental baggage they carry within them
On Christmas, they're alone waiting for the next train to somewhere;
At lunch break, they count the passing minutes;
At concerts, they soak in their own solitude among loud sounds;
Even for those who're engaging others, it appears not so engaging...
This species of ours might be unorganizable to those of the Leonardo da Vinci era five hundred years ago
