This image is a submission for a the cover of the Voices Through the Mask podcast. Within the silhouette are words I felt relate to the effects of the pandemic and other common vocabulary.

About the Podcast
One of the biggest projects of our class was to create a podcast series which we titled Voices Through the Mask. As undergraduate students, our experience during the pandemic is quite unique.
