This surreal and symbolic illustration reflects my emotional state during the COVID-19 pandemic. The central figure, cloaked in pink and covered with bandages, drifts aimlessly across stormy seas—representing the helplessness I felt amid job loss and a lack of direction.

Behind looms a giant fish with gaping jaws, symbolizing the ever-present threat of the virus. The entangled ropes throughout the composition represent the constraints and invisible pressures of that time.

A zipper tears open the sky, suggesting a rupture in reality, with scattered symbols flying out—echoing the uncertainty and sudden changes of the future. The vivid colors, intense visual tension, and chaotic composition all come together to capture the psychological turmoil I experienced during that period.
