Pandemic Blues

Pandemic Blues

Healing does not happen all at once. Attempts at self-care and improvement can seem futile amid a global pandemic, where everything feels out of your control. The pandemic’s impacts led many to recognize the importance of self-care — whether mental, physical, or spiritual — and prioritize it in their lives. Erica S. Qualy provides an honest depiction of one of many moments of vulnerability through this self-portrait, wherein teardrops create lines in her exfoliating mud mask.
