Waitng Room Area

These drawings were done before Covid changed every aspect of what we took for granted. As it was all kinds of people arrived for their appointments at the Clinic. First they checked in and then waited to be called for their appointment. People sat near each other. There was often conversation between strangers.

Now we wait with uncertainty for Covid to end. No more sitting close as social distancing separates us to keep us safe. We speak muffled through a mask with hand sanitizer nearby. We wait for these uncertainties to lift. Hoping for good answers soon. We wait.
