Jackson George “I Am the Future” paper, oil pastel, and pencil, 18” W x 24: H – $150.00

Statement: Like many kids I finished high school and started college during the peak years of the Covid-19 Pandemic.  I had done “Reflection – I am the Future” a few years before that time, looking in the mirror and portraying what I felt, not saw, about life and growing.  But looking back at it during the Pandemic, “I am the Future” took on more meaning than just growing anxiety.  The sheer sense of drifting loss and solitude, broken-up society even though surrounded by social media and living through the cell phone, is something that we need to pay attention to, since I’m a member of the Pandemic kids, the “Gen P” kids.  And that’s fucked up.
