Stuck at Home is an interactive work reflecting on the isolation of the COVID era, searching for (limited) connection through technology. Through a collection of buttons resembling the layout of a phone’s home screen, the work allows the user to browse a collection of cell phone videos taken in and around the artist’s home after moving to a new city in 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The viewer can navigate the videos by tapping on the buttons, revealing both more detail and additional videos to browse. This work seeks to make new forms of virtual, long-distance connections by sharing the sights and textures of the artist’s day to day life with friends and family from afar.
