Artist Statement: My title is called “Life out there.” I named it this because my photograph is symbolizing how life has changed drastically since quarantine. My piece connects to the pandemic by showing how isolation has led many people to stay off the roads and stay home, in order to be safe. Due to social distancing and stay-at-home orders, places all around the world are now empty, especially roads. I chose to submit this response because now that everyone must stay home, seeing the roads empty made me realize how real this is and life changing. Seeing the picture of all the empty streets gave me an eerie feeling, yet it looked very calming and peaceful. I hope my piece describes what it has been like during quarantine. Isolated, lonely, and a dramatic change to the way we live our lives.
