“Into the Void” DINA D’ARGO, 56, SPRINGFIELD, TENN. Acrylic on canvas “ ‘Into the Void’ symbolizes stepping into the unknown — the idea of life ‘after the pandemic’ and the insecurity of not knowing what lies ahead. The veil symbolizes not only the unwillingness to accept reality, but also our cultural preoccupation with covering or uncovering one’s face, and what it represents or says about who we are as a society. In a greater sense, this image is about the space between mortality and a spiritual state. I created this piece to sooth my own restless mind — to prepare myself for the possibility that during this pandemic, I may lose a loved one or lose my own life. And to remind myself that life is fluid and ever-changing, and it is okay not to know what lies ahead.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2020/07/06/art-pandemic-readers/?arc404=true
。。。 Death too wears a mask. But consider, there may well be good In our misfortune if we can find it. It is Hidden in the darkness of our fear. But discover it and see that it is hope And more; it is the gift of opportunity. We have the rare chance to prevail, To pose a resolution for world renewal. ... ---https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/22/opinion/letters/coronavirus-poems.html
You’ve been living for this for weeks without knowing it: the moment the house empties like a city in August so completely it forgets you exist. Light withdraws slowly is almost gone before you notice. In the stillness, everything becomes itself: the circle of white plates on the kitchen table the serious chairs that attend them even the roses on the papered walls seem to open a little wider. It looks simple: the glass vase holding whatever is offered – cut flowers, or the thought of them – simple, though not easy this waiting without hunger in the near dark for what you may be about to receive. Esther Morgan from Grace (Bloodaxe Books, 2011)
