2020 has been a heartbreaking year to the world and New York City was on PAUSE from March to May. During this unprecedented time, we as artists can’t help but want to create arts that express our emotions as we live through this horrible pandemic.

Working from home, social distancing and self-quarantine have become the new normal of our lives. When the freedom of physical interaction is taken away, the longing for the warmth of an in person communication has grown stronger and stronger. Under the no contact restrictions, we see people around the way still manage to find beautiful ways to stay connected. Touched and inspired by the strength and warmth of human will, we have created six heartwarming illustrations in hope of easing the pain and sharing the positive spirits for those in need.
