[ New Delhi, INDIA ] As a part of my job responsibilities as an Analyst, I have been working on a few research white papers on “Risks and Impact of Coronavirus Globally in coming times”. I started working on this self-portrait project during unwanted and unexpected isolation, brought on by the COVID-19 Pandemic which started impacting China especially since January 2020. The World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus or COVID-19 as global pandemic on March 11, 2020. Depending upon the several reports by consulting firms available said that COVID-19 will have a significant impact globally and there may be a chance of a recession in countries of South Asia, South America and some smaller European nations especially after post BREXIT laws/regulations. Other than these issues the citizens of the world will face challenges especially related to mental health because of the chances of getting isolated if affected by a coronavirus in any way. Other issues may be related to cyber breaches, shortage of essentials products, price hike, inflation, etc. With all those findings keeping in mind, I tried to give it a visual perceptive thereby mixing my full-time job learning/findings along with my personal conflicts within myself during COVID-19 nationwide lockdown. The other two members of the family lost their jobs and assignments instantly which led to the enormous amount of responsibility on my shoulders. Through this self-portrait the project, I want to highlight the issues that impacted me deeply in lockdown period and a way to wrestle with my own Anxiety and others such as Mental stress, Financial Stress, Insomnia, Anger, Addiction to Phone, Loneliness to name few.
