“A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity.  That is the only way one can judge it.” – Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

It can be a challenge under our current circumstances to feel like art matters.  Yet, as Rilke and other artists and philosophers have reminded us, great art arises out of necessity.  As they say, “Necessity is the mother of invention.”  What do you think the role of art and photography is during this time and how might it reflect your experience?  Post a series of pictures you have taken recently that show us your perspective on this time of: uncertainty, vulnerability, isolation, hope, and ______________.  The subject matter could be of your home environment, the people you are with, self-portraits, something you make, or something you find.  These could include pictures you’ve taken in the past month showing your transition, what you left behind, and where you are now.  These photographs could respond to this time and your current circumstances in either a direct or indirect way.  They could be diaristic, documentary, poetic, or abstract.
