In these paintings, you can see everyday people enjoying life, dancing, celebrating, and performing normal activities. These are not things that someone could do when the Covid lockdown began. In 2022, it is beginning to feel like more people are behaving the same as the people that are portrayed in these painting once again.

In this white cube display style exhibit, I want to show how in 2022 people have been gathering in larger groups since the Covid lockdown began in 2020. Personally, there has been a slight hesitance in going out in large groups since early 2020. However, I feel that 2022 has finally been the year where groups, places, and events, such as concerts and simply shopping malls, are starting to become more comfortable with allowing a greater number of people to attend compared to the last two years. On social media throughout the year, I have seen concerts at full capacity, which would not have been an option over a year ago. This happening makes it feel like some things are starting to go back to how they were a few years ago, and there is a sense of normalcy this year compared to the last. I tried to choose artwork that represented the joy of begin with groups of people once again.
