Cumberland County

“My art piece shows my feelings of being isolated from society and the outside world. My piece also represents my hopelessness in trying to change how I feel. I believe that many kids have been affected negatively by having to quarantine and isolate from other kids and family. I hope that my simple piece can visually show people how it feels to be a kid during this pandemic, where everything we have known and experienced our whole lives has changed.”
