The New Normal

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, gripped the world in the beginning of 2020 and brought quick, significant changes to social norms. These new changes include social distancing and mask wearing. The goal of my thesis is to push these changes even further and make the viewer ask, 鈥淲hat if?鈥�.

The loneliness felt throughout quarantine and lockdowns have been felt worldwide. These quarantine measures caused isolation from friends, family, and even strangers on the street, but the changing social norms have also caused the sensation of isolation. Social distancing and mask wearing have lowered our ability to socialize. The possibility of having to wear a HAZMAT suit in the future drastically lowers these abilities even more.

The mundaneness of the tasks being carried out in the HAZMAT suit adds to the monotony felt in the midst of loneliness and isolation. Capturing daily tasks in these suits will show the new normal.
