This is a drawing of my sister, Tegen. It intends to highlight the feeling of being cut off or isolated from others, both physically and emotionally, which leads to a sense of loneliness. It is a reflection of the shared isolation experienced during the COVID-19 lockdown. I was particularly inspired by how Lucian Freud portrayed hands and eyes as emotive assets.
