COVID-19 Creative Mask

Description
-
For my mask, I used the YouTube video “Emergency masks -5 easy, quick, no-sew ideas” provided on the Discussion 1 instructions. I used a page from a daily planner that I bought a few months ago in Etsy as I was trying to get more organized. I also used elastic bands for the ear loops and crayons to color the mask.
I chose to use a rainbow because I have mild OCD and I find that when I have items of multiple colors, I always end up organizing them by color. For example, when eating M&M’s I like organizing them by their place on the rainbow and then eat them by color. I am a very bubbly, “glass full” kind of person, and I find positivity in all things. I feel this love of positivity gives me the gift to see the good in all people. As this pandemic unfolds, I find myself more and more overwhelmed, along with beginning the Nursing Program in the Fall of 2020 I am a wife and mother of three beautiful and very active girls. This exhaustion and the feelings of being overwhelmed and inadequacy are represented by the declining black and gray lines that stem from the rainbow colors on my mask.
In my picture, you can see the contrast between my colorful and bubbly personality and the exhausted, overwhelmed nursing student. The background is my dining room in which I spend most hours of my day. We had to make a makeshift office for me in the dining room as the other areas of the home are occupied with desks for my girls to homeschool during the pandemic and for my husband’s home office. In the background, there are blurry images of my nursing books and two POP! Heroes that represent me; Wonder Woman, clad in golden armor and a front-line worker in the medical field, complete with scrubs and mask.
