I Wanna Hug You

I Wanna Hug YouIn the age of Covid-19, everything has been exacerbated and brought to the surface, the veil of comfort taken down, from larger systems to smaller moments in how families, friends and individuals operated. It has allowed for a period of deep reflection and questioning of how we used to operate, and also allowed for a visioning and commitment to a different future. It has created a global shift, where government, organizations, institutions, neighborhoods, families; everyone has had to evolve and adapt to a new social contract, a new way of existing. Artist Dave Eassa asks the viewer to consider: What are you leaving behind, what is coming with you? What do you miss the most? Leave a drawing, leave some writing, pass along something and hang it on the wall. I Wanna Hug You Insulation Foam, Fiberglass, Aquaresin, Steel, Enamel 72"H x 70"W x 24"D 2020 -
