In the news, the coronavirus epidemic is slowing down in China, where it first broke out. However, countries like the US, Italy, and Spain are just starting to see the vice of this virus.<\/p>\n
Since I\u2019ve been back to Taiwan, I haven\u2019t seen my family except for my mom. According to law, I have to self-quarantine for 14 days to watch out for coronavirus symptoms. When you\u2019re in quarantine at your grandma\u2019s house, there\u2019s not much you can do, except for watching the news. The shortage of supplies and labor in the US, Italy, and Spain lead to numerous problems. Doctors and nurses are the front lines in this battle against the epidemic. They are posting photos of bruises on their faces from wearing the masks for hours of working. There is not enough medical protective clothing for everyone, so the doctors are left to use plastic bags.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t bring clothes back to Taiwan since I thought I couldn\u2019t go out for two weeks. And there are no clothes in my grandma\u2019s house. So I was worried about this assignment. But when I saw the news, I empathized with the hopeless situation. I decided to base my fashion styling on the topic. The photoshoot I conduct is to express the powerlessness I feel when I watch the news.<\/p>\n
I cut up the plastic bag so I could wear it as a dress to resemble the DIY protective clothing. I drew two red lines across my cheeks to show the bruises on the doctors\u2019 faces. When I was deciding on the background, I thought of the words I heard about getting the virus: they said you would drown from your own lungs. So I put myself in the tub.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
