June-December 2020. Created during the height of the lockdown, A Trip to the Earth, was made from the vantage point of hypothetical moon-dwellers returning to human civilization on Earth with a protective spacesuit to prevent contracting the virus. The Earth is made of collaged maps of the United States. COVID-19 looms over the horizon, and large groups of people can be seen from above, representing various large citywide outbreaks.
