Inspired by the Covid-19 lockdown in England, this mixed-media painting reflects a period of uncertainty, isolation, and quiet endurance. Abstracted elements of the Union Jack appear fractured and partially dissolved, suggesting national identity under emotional and social strain.
Created with acrylic and sand on cotton rag paper, the textured surface is raw and tactile, with drips, splashes, and layered marks conveying instability and resilience in equal measure. The work retains a sense of immediacy and honesty, standing as an expressive record of a shared historical moment.
