Art on Zoom: Falling in love with in-between space
Social Media shows us meticulously curated imagery and art: that perfect face, the choreographed tik tok video, the manipulated political message.

“When all the world is the eye of the lord
All-knowing, All-seeing
What can you conceal?”
~Akka Mahadevi
