This is the first video of my series Dystopia: The Humanity of a Modern Pandemic. My name is Leslie Mauldin, and I am a sculpture and intermedia artist, as well as an MFA candidate at Texas Woman's University. At the start of quarantine, in April of 2020, each day blurred into the next, with many unknowns as to what would happen with COVID-19. The sculpture itself is isolated in a dark and unknown environment, just as I felt isolated in my small apartment. The sounds I designed represent the ominous emotions I felt around the time of April 2020.
