Covid Zoom Doodles: Time Pressure

Start December 13th, 2021

Finish January 23rd, 2022

1 months, 10 days

During the pandemic, our work days blurred into endless Zoom calls—glowing screens replacing real-world connection, time slipping away in a loop of virtual meetings.

Like many, I found myself instinctively doodling while listening—swirls, daisies, dots, and scribbles filling the margins of my notebook. These small, unconscious sketches became a quiet act of rebellion—something tangible, something real in a world that had gone fully digital.

This piece is born from that need to create, to escape the screen’s relentless brightness. The colors are deliberately earthy, grounding me in contrast to the artificial glow of pixels. Each stitch, each mark, is a reminder that even in isolation, we can leave something behind—something made by hand, something that exists beyond the screen.
