During March of 2020, as states like California, began implementing shelter-in-place-orders (SIPO) to curb transmission of the Coronavirus across the American West, many citizens found themselves relegated to the confines of their homes and the streets and major tourist areas closed.
Over the next several months, as citizens considered the length of the SIPO on themselves and others, many become creative to highlight their anxiety, but also their resilience.
Communities of all sorts became creative by using both digital and physical spaces to replicate some semblance of normalcy during the pandemic. Particularly, refashioning Birthday parties and other social gatherings and hosting them over Zoom to using hobbies to document bare city streets and loved ones from a safe social-distance.
