Description: Lowana Davies bottles the fears, realities, and social aspects of the Coronavirus pandemic into fake bath products called 'social distancing body wash,' 'craving cream,' 'capitalism away,' and 'human touch body scrub.' The zine unfolds into a digital illustration of a person soaking in a bathtub with the bath products around them.

Artist's statement, "I just got back from living in Japan, where public bathing is commonplace. So I had a new-found appreciation for soaking in the tub. When I returned home to Australia in March and went into isolation, I found comfort in recreating the spa ritual for myself. A time for solitude and self-care. It feels like the whole planet wants that right now."
