Title: Muted
Description: Zofia Chrzanowska takes the motif of being muted on Zoom and translates that to how it feels to be muted in everyday pandemic life. As the product of an art student, Zofia's color-printed zine is full of digital spreads with scans of nature, sketch portraits of Zoom classmates, and textured digital illustrations. The artwork captures the emptiness of navigating the spring 2020 semester and how Zofia is sad about people graduating without a chance to say goodbye to their friends, wearing the same clothes every day, and making art no one will see.
