Post-Pan:
A Pandemic Retrospective

(2020-2022)

I began work on this project in both personal perspective and generalized, collective societal experience, through my disparate episodes living-out the pandemic in China, Indonesia, and USA. It became my most expansive project to date; though, the prime intention for its development is communal in nature, this project aims to express, through niche and generalized thematic cultural experiences, personal and public, a refraction of "The Pandemic Self," with its multitudes and modalities, in contemporary industrialized societies in crisis and disorientation under the umbrella of safety and privilege, wealth, health, and common, cultural sensibilities - in status quo. Strident by its effects, yet propelled by a simple essential question, "How do we express our experience of this event and the events therein and thereafter?" I want this project to be, however small or far-reaching, an icebreaker for our mending, a catharsis, because we are living Post-Pan; nothing else before is relevant, as much as we want it to be.
