This was at a student art exhibit at the local community college. I had forgotten about it till I happened upon the pictures a few minutes ago. I snapped this years ago! So it kind of gave me chills to see it now. It could be titled "In The Time Of Covid". Wish I could talk to the artist, it's like they were predicting the future. It was in a glass case, so there are reflections.

him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. ~Oscar Wilde

It is really amazing. It would be interesting if you can talk to the student. Yes, In the time of Covid" will be a good and suitable title for that piece of art.
Damn covid ... has reached the arts too!
I hate him!
It would be interesting to know what the artists thoughts were at the time and even more interesting to know what he/she thinks of this piece today.
Oh wow! It’s interesting to notice that the human is empty except for the mask. I wonder if the artist knew at the time what a pain it would be to wear a mask and glasses...they always fog up.
Sorry Ginny, this gave me the colly wobbles, I don't like much, but each to their own.

How strange...I wonder if their thoughts was a robbery?
This is BEYOND cool, Ginny. Cool and very definitely eerie, for sure! ~Andrea xoxo
It gave me the chills too! I sure wish you could talk to the artist too.
Ginny, I'm here to wish you a happy Thanksgiving.
Amazing...
Love the Oscar Wilde quote!
Love a lot of Oscar's quotes! I have a little book of them. Maybe I should 'dust it off.'

I too love the quote. And the exhibit gave me a chill. It would be interesting to find out the thoughts behind it.
How quickly the glasses caught my attention right away as vision is my biggest handicap these days. It was reading the text that made look again and see the mask. I imagine that the art suggestS look but speak carefully about you see. Covid only came to my attention from your words. I can imagine your speculation and the piece today does have the Covid vibe. Interesting post for sure.
wow, and now I wonder what the artist was thinking way back then, it is totally appropriate for our lives now
Hmmmmmm ... except, most folks wear their mask beneath their nose, and some (many) on their chin, or hanging from an ear. That's after they've grubbed around for it in a pocket, or a purse, or hanging from the rear-view, where I'm *sure* it's oh-so-sanitary. No thanks. But Happy Thanksgiving! xoxo
It would be nice to know (I think) about some of the artist's later works.
Wow...amazing..
Makes one wonder, doesn't it?
Ginny, you asked for the Newman's Creamed Potatoes recipe. But you are a No-Reply Blogger, and have no email addy link, on your profile page. So I can't......
When you asked, I tried to reply to you, telling you the history of this recipe.
Now I realize, that you never even got that.. Because of being a No-Reply Blogger.
It certainly does make me wonder....:)jp
That is most interesting .
Very appropriate. 🙁
Fascinating work of art. Very interesting about the mask.
