In 2020, as the world grappled with isolation and uncertainty, I put a call out for submissions, and invited poets and artists to participate in a unique collaborative project. Poets submitted work exploring their pandemic experiences—the losses, the quiet moments, painful impacts, and surprising discoveries. Artists, without knowing the poets' identities, selected poems that resonated with them and created their own visual response. What emerged was remarkable. Though these creators had never met, their works seemed to speak to each other in profound and unexpected ways. Themes echoed across mediums. Colors matched emotional tones. Visual metaphors complemented written ones. This gallery showcases these pairings—testament to our shared human experience during an unprecedented time. Through words and images, these creators helped process our collective grief, fear, resilience, and hope. Each pairing offers a window into how art heals, connects, and makes meaning, even when—perhaps especially when—we are physically apart. Ironically, this was only a few months into the Pandemic, and we did not yet know the ultimate toll and losses it would create. I invite you to explore these connections and find reflections of your own pandemic healing journey within them.
