Bubbled

Artist Description

Ann is a runner and she credits running with having saved her from being cooped up in the house during the pandemic. At the same time she feels very much alone when running: “The bubble represents the solitude I feel from not being with other people. I feel (as if I’m) running my own race all the time.” This is not easy for a self-proclaimed “extreme extrovert.” Ann says: “I don’t function well when I’m alone all the time. One of my biggest fears is being alone.” Ann’s friends have helped her to “stay sane” during the pandemic and the embroidery project has given her a way to stay in touch with some of her closest friends.

Ann shows how her passion for running helped her to fight this feeling of isolation
