Coronavirus Birthday Party
After six months of not seeing her, my family made the three hour drive to Rapid City, SD to see my dad's mom for her birthday. We met in the park and one of her presents was a homemade coronavirus piñata made by my dad and sister. We hoped getting to destroy a replica of coronavirus would be a humorous way to acknowledge how hard this has been and maybe feel a bit better about all. The first photo is of the piñata; the second photo is of my dad and sister, Micheal and Jayne Lees, next to their creation; the third is a video of my grandmother, Marsha Lees, destroying her present; and the fourth photo is of my grandmother posing over the destroyed piñata.

Family Road Trip From Illinois to New Jersey
My family drove from Illinois to New Jersey, passing through Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania along the way, for our annual week long family vacation in Avalon, NJ. Fortunately, we usually drive to NJ, so we are used to long road trips, but this time we had to make sure to wear our masks at rest areas and restaurants.

Jersey Shore Signs
On my vacation in Avalon, New Jersey, I found many signs requiring masks and social distancing, often in creative ways. 1. Sign depicting social distancing by equivocating six feet to the length of a dolphin. 2. Sign requiring masks outside of 29th Street Deli in Avalon, New Jersey. 3. Sign inside of Duck Donuts in Avalon, New Jersey requiring social distancing. 4. This "suit up and mask up" sign in Stone Harbor, New Jersey ties in beach references when explaining social distancing. 5. "Spread your wings, not the virus" sign in Stone Harbor, New Jersey uses an image of the ubiquitous seagulls at the beach to urge mask wearing.

Remote Teaching Set Up
Religion Professor Sonja Anderson posted on a Carleton buy and sell email list advertising unused chalkboard contact paper. After questions about her teaching set up for remote teaching, she sent another message describing how she set up her teaching station, along with an image of it.
Partial email text: "Several people have asked about the real chalkboard I bought for teaching from home. I bought this one (48"x36") on Amazon, though it's now sold out. Photo attached of how I set it up in my spare room. Key furniture was a milk crate, two tables, and two lamps positioned at my 9 o'clock and 2 o'clock. Used Apple AirPods (bought with PDA) for sound and mic. I had no problems with chalkboard glare, but I can't speak to WHITE boards. I did all class sessions live on Zoom but set them to record automatically and store in Panopto for students who were absent."

Shaw Qin - Calling My Sister
"I am spending much more time video calling my family since I am now more or less isolated in my small dorm room. Once when I called my sister, who is two years younger than me, I almost burst into tears when my sister was the one begging me not to end the call after an hour into it. She used to be more unwilling to communicate, and I was already accustomed to begging her not to end video calls before the pandemic. Now she could understand my loneliness and fear, or she also misses me more than before. This reminds me how much I love her, how much I miss her, and how much I need the support of family when facing all the uncontrollable things alone and far away from home."

Antonia Ritter - Minneapolis Quarantine Photos
"When I don't pay attention to the news, it's easy to not dwell on what's going on (no one close to me has been affected). My day-to-day experience of COVID-19, aside from mostly not leaving the house, is these weird little reminders that I see while walking around the neighborhood (displayed in the following photos)" The first and second photos are of lawn ornaments wearing masks, including a cement dog and pink flamingos, one made up as a plague doctor. The third photo is of melancholy graffiti in a tunnel near my house, stating "COVID 19 I miss my mom". (She/Her/Hers/class of 2022/Math/Minneapolis,MN/Minneapolis,MN)

Jeremiah Mackin-Alonzi - Amesbury, MA Quarantine Photos
"While I love being home and appreciate this extra time I've gotten to spend with my family and dog (see the first picture), it would have been no huge loss if I didn't get it --I was soon going to be spending the whole summer home with them regardless. My time at Carleton feels like it is more finite and fleeting than my time at home, so it's a great loss to miss out on any of it. I am disappointed about the missed opportunities to connect more deeply with my friends and to foster new connections with other Carleton students (see the second picture), but I am striving to keep positive and am eagerly anticipating my return to the land of Cows, Colleges, and Contentment (see the third picture)!" (He/Him/His/class of 2022/Statistics/Amesbury, MA/Amesbury, MA)

Katie Taylor - Quarantine in a Cabin
"I came home on the 17th of March, spent one night in my childhood home, and I immediately drove to Eastern Washington, where I've been staying at my parents cabin. The cabin is on a sixteen acre plot, so it's safe to say that I did not see a lot of people outside my family for a while. I am undoubtedly incredibly lucky to live in the area. I can run on the trail systems in my neighborhood every day, and I have never had to worry about seeing other people. It feels super weird to live in that house for the spring, but my life would not be that different if I randomly decided to take all of my classes (without quarantine). My parents spend about three days a week at the cabin, and my brother lived with me for the first half of the term, but I spent the last two work weeks living alone. It's beautiful, but it's also very quiet." (She/Her/Hers/class of 2022/Chemistry/Arlington, WA/Mostly Winthrop, WA)

Sarah Newsham - Full Circle
"A few days ago I was walking around campus with a friend, one of my closest friends freshman year who has remained a good friend, one last time before she moved home. We'd been sitting behind Evans looking out at Bell Field and talking. As we were about to walk up the steps behind Evans, we saw, at the top of the steps, my freshman year roommate and her family, who had returned to campus to pick up her belongings. It was such a serendipitous moment, and also highlighted everything we had lost. A goodbye with my roommate is one of the many goodbyes I did not have a chance to say before leaving at the end of winter. We took a socially-distanced picture, waved by one more time, and continued our respective strolls around the deserted, locked, familiar-yet-alien-feeling campus". (She/Her/Hers/class of 2020/Biology/ Oakland, CA/Northfield, MN)

Anna Schumacher - Life in Detroit Lakes, MN During The Pandemic
1. The crowd at the Fargo, ND BLM protests a few friends and I attended. It was hard to be away from the Twin Cities during the last two weeks of the term after the killing of George Floyd and the ensuing wave of police brutality. 2. The Accidentals (my a capella group) met via Zoom weekly to stay connected during quarantine. 3. We had to record ourselves singing for a remote Carleton Choir project which resulted in a lot of technical mishaps, including this silly photo. 4. Family Yahtzee! a night with my sisters in Alaska. Mom and Dad asked too many questions and yelled a lot. 5. Our cat Dookie was my constant support/annoyance during online classes. 6. The first few weeks of quarantine were FULL of yummy food... until we lost energy and stopped cooking fun things. These veggies enchiladas made everyone happy, even my meat-loving dad. 7. When we are on campus, a group of friends and I have 'tea time' and we decided to keep it going over video chat during our term away. 8. On my 21st birthday/last day of classes, my housemate and I took a trip to my favorite childhood lake and paddled around. We chased swarms of minnows and ran away when their guardians started nipping at our toes. (She/Her/Hers/class of 2021/Psychology and Spanish minor/Detroit Lakes, MN /Detroit Lakes, MN)

ER and Surgery During a Pandemic
The first photo is of me in the ER wearing a mask. The second photo I took outside the Avera St. Mary's Hospital in Pierre, SD at the drive in covid testing site. The two nurses who gave me my covid test can be seen walking away. The third photo is of me in the hospital about to go in for surgery with my mom, Michelle Lees, masked up next to me. This shows a little bit of the new reality of needing medical care in a pandemic era and the extra steps involved. I was lucky my mom was able to be with me at all for both the ER visit and the surgery as that had only begun being allowed the week before my ER visit. One of the nurses helping me made a point to tell me how nice it was to see my mom with me as it had been really hard for them to watch patients struggle in the previous months without anyone they cared about there to help them through things.

Logan Knutson - Haircuts and Rescue Dogs!
"A recent experience that represents the spring term for me was getting a new foster dog. We need haircuts, but besides that, I've been able to keep busy without going stir-crazy; I'll probably be telling a different story in August, but as of right now, it's alright."

Karah Haug - Looking at My Camera Roll...
"Looking at my camera roll, the lack of pictures, particularly pictures of people, is an accurate depiction of what is being missed during the pandemic. I live a few miles outside of the Black Hills National Forest so hiking has been a reprieve from being in my house constantly. I don't see many people outside of my immediate family and my dog and I spend a lot of time hanging out in my backyard (by myself) when the weather is nice enough. It's hard to believe that we have been away from Carleton so long, but looking at my recent photos, I have very little evidence of other humans, which makes it clear just how long it has been. My pictures are exclusively of my dog and of the landscape from hikes I have gone on. It feels very strange to be separated from the community of people that I have been so connected to for almost three years". (She/Her/Hers/class of 2021/Dance and Environmental Studies/Rapid City, SD/Rapid City, SD)

Quincy D'Alessio - Feeling Like an Outsider at Home: Photos and Written Reflection
Photo Outline: 1. I included this tree because it represents a sense of displacement that allowed me to not miss something for the first time. My parents moved into this house my freshman year at Carleton and I never realized this tree on our porch was a cherry blossom because I’d never been home when it bloomed before. 2. As I said, my parents moved into their house when I left for college so it’s never really been my home and it’s only now that I’m here and will be here for the foreseeable future that I’ve really designed my space as something that is mine with all my things and my personality in the aesthetic. I’ve spent a lot of my time organizing things like this, working with my hands has been very soothing when I’m anxious. 3. These photos are of my neighborhood, and again it’s about the fact that I don’t know the place where I am supposed to be at home. Apparently the egg tree is an annual tradition, and the signs were put up by a family with three kids and a bichon frise. Feeling like I am an outsider in this space is a huge part of the displacement feeling in my COVID-19 experience. (She/Her/Hers/class of 2020/Psychology/Chapel Hill, NC/Chapel Hill, NC)

Clarissa Guzman - Time With Family in Sunnyvale, CA: Quarantine Photos
First: the picture is of my family, right before we were about to eat homemade curry, rice, and naan. Since we've been on lockdown, my family has been able to spend a little more time together, eat meals together, and try out new recipes. Second: the picture is me (Clarissa) doing homework in our dining room. I have been switching back and forth between doing homework at my desk and the dining room table to switch it up. This is what online learning looks like for me. Thrid: last but not least, I also added a picture of my sister and I on our way to the store with our masks on. This is the new normal.

Gray Harrison - New Hampshire Quarantine Photos
The first picture is of my childhood friend and I going on a walk and staying 6 feet apart from each other :( it's really hard to not get to hug her. The second picture is of my fellow housemates of WHOA house having a house meeting to check in with each other. We are all so used to coexisting in the same physical space, so meeting online feels really different for us. The third picture is of all the letters I have received while in quarantine. It is so nice to have that connection with people, and although I cannot see them or talk to them in person, receiving letters from friends is a little bit of joy in my day, and makes me feel that they are still with me somehow.

Maya Rogers - Navigating Isolation On-Campus Photoset
A) I’ve taken a lot of selfies with masks because I’ve been wearing them a lot. B) I’ve been documenting my hair growth, which I find fun. C) Zoom calls are such a big thing now and my favorite one was the Disability Services/OHP Caturday event. D) I’ve been cooking a lot, as I have a lot of time, not much else to do, and because I’m immunocompromised I’m trying to avoid all public places as much as possible. E) I did a CSA Instagram takeover and the photo with text is from that. F) The photo with the cupcake encapsulates both my want to support local businesses (like Cakewalk) as well as my reliance on Google Calendar. Not to mention I’m still so busy! G) The photo with the yellow mask is from a day I had to go to the hospital for my monthly infusion, which has gotten even more stressful and everyone is wearing masks but I still feel scared, though I have to get my treatment. It reminds me of how vulnerable I am, which I try to put out of my mind. (She/Her/Hers/class of 2022/ Psychology/Tulsa, OK/Tulsa, OK and Northfield, MN)

Darius Goodman - Just an Oversized Yee-Haw Hat
"This photo is of the hat that represents the small pleasures I've found that help me get through this trying time. I put my oversized yee-haw hat on and all my troubles and concerns simply melt away. At that moment, I'm no longer as worried about the outside world (or more accurately the inside world) because it's really hard to have deep-rooted concerns and voice those opinions with a silly hat on, especially when it's green-screened to look like Ainsley Harriot."

Virtual Empty Bowls 2020 Poster
An annual on-campus event, the pandemic disrupted the Empty Bowls community meal to raise awareness and funds for Northfield's Community Action Center Food Shelf. Professor Kelly Connole, working with the Community Action Center and Carleton's Center for Community and Civic Engagement, organized a virtual replacement for the event. Description of the event: "For the past 16 years, Carleton Ceramics has hosted the annual Empty Bowls community meal on campus to raise awareness around hunger issues and funds for the CAC Food Shelf.

Carleton Ceramics’ 16th annual Empty Bowls event to be held virtually
A news story on Carleton Now about the upcoming Virtual Empty Bowls event.
Text: "Carleton Ceramics will be hosting its 16th annual Empty Bowls community meal virtually on Friday, May 15. The event, traditionally held on campus, raises awareness around hunger issues and funds for the Northfield Community Action Center (CAC) food shelf by selling student-made ceramic bowls. Since its inception in 2005 at Carleton, the project has raised over $91,000 for the CAC food shelf.
What started as an initiative to build a connection between art and the local community has become an annual tradition students, staff, faculty, and community members look forward to each year. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic and a shelter-in-place order, that community gathering is not possible, therefore, Empty Bowls will be going virtual for 2020. All Carleton and community members are invited to participate in this year’s virtual event.
On Friday, May 15, participants are invited share a photo of themselves with their previously purchased Empty Bowl (or any bowl) and post it to their Instagram tagging @carletonceramics, or on Facebook tagging CCCE.
Participants are also encouraged to consider making a donation to the CAC food shelf, or any local organization with a mission to fight hunger, through May 16 in honor of this virtual event. Donations can be made through Venmo @CarletonEmptyBowls, online, or by texting “EmptyBowls” to 44321.

Dima Rentel - Walks With Family in Yonkers, NY
"I go on a lot of walks with my family. It's the only real sort of outlet we have outside the house. By far the best part of quarantine is having a little longer time with them. I thought the days of me being fully part of the family were over when I left for college. I definitely no longer feel at home in New York in my home, but on these walks it is like the old days, when, as a family, we would explore the northern parts of New York. There's not much to do at home, especially as it feels like our workplace now. All walks are the kiss of the sun and warmth of family, the two things that we have left at this point".

Daniel Ashurst - A Guide to a Rainy Day and Photos
"As a student with diagnosed depression, I've had an incredibly difficult time motivating myself. The stay-at-home order has been very taxing on my mental health as social interaction was a big part of the typical management of my depression. My family also panic bought and generally has an unhelpful attitude towards the virus, choosing to believe that it is no worse than the flu, will go away soon, etc." A Guide to a Rainy Day was a project inspired by the first two months of quarantine in the United States and the depression Dan experienced during the period of self-isolation to prevent the spread of the virus. (Submitted to a Carleton Photography Class Spring 2020.) Additional Photo Outline: The first photo is of my desk, displaying my workspace during remote courses. The second is a picture which captures the over-purchasing of cereal as it lurks in the background of a shot of a painting.

Gaby Lazo - Quarantine Photos
"The last week of school before we left sort of acted as a transition into the displacement I’d feel throughout the spring term. We packed up our room as though we were moving out, and I said goodbye to my roommate Lillian for the last time as roommates; even though they’d told us we were coming back, we all knew it was not true. Coming home was itself a surprise — I had been planning for months to spend Spring break with my friends in Chicago. I’d never been, and it would be the first vacation I’d get to go on without my family and just with my friends. Of course, the plan we had been developing for months fell apart within a few days. Learning from home and living at home still does not feel real. I feel lucky to have friendships that are sound enough to withstand even this, and we video chat for hours on end, watching the shows we’d started together on Netflix Party and studying together on mute. However, none of it feels the same. Everything feels slightly empty, and as much as I love to talk to my friends and even love my classes, it is hard not to feel grief over what I’m missing. I don’t get to sing with my senior friends in Acapella for the last term, I don’t get to experience my first Rottblatt or Sproncert, I don’t get to go to Social Dance Club and dance with friends, and I don’t get to meet my professors in person. It feels nearly impossible to develop relationships with classmates and professors on Zoom, even though I enjoy the classes themselves and know my professors are doing everything they can. Above all, there’s a shadow on everything, knowing that we are living through a historic period of death, and fearing that the life I’d worked so hard to build for myself may be permanently altered. However, I know that my friendships and my motivation are stronger than any virus, and I hope to keep working to build a life worth living for myself, even in quarantine." (She/Her/Hers/class of 2023/Undecided/ Laguna Niguel, CA/ Laguna Niguel, CA)

Message to Delivery Workers
A house in my neighborhood had this sign placed on the garage. It is relevant because it shows people's appreciation towards deliver workers who risk themselves daily fo the good of their communities. This sign also shows that people are trying to find ways to reach out to other people and thank them for what they are doing by trying to boost the community's morale.

Friday Flower during COVID-19
Most students have already left the campus. It was the first Friday in the spring term. Friday flower became such a "normal" weekly event on campus, but not now. None of the students would expect these flowers on that day, and even students on campus did not expect to see any flowers in Sayles on that day. The flower in every mailbox means love to me. Even though we are not going to see each other for quite a long time, we still love and remember each other. Many people are going through a tough period of time, and these flowers also represent courage, encouraging people to stay strong, cherishing the hope and love to the world.

A screenshot of a chat between two Carleton students. One remaining on campus receives a picture of cherry blossoms from the other back in Japan, his home country. The caption of the picture says "Virtual cherry blossom viewing!" which is a seasonal event in Japan and reminds her of her home.

Pandemic Collage
This is a collage I made towards the start the pandemic. When I make a collage I take images I've collected from magazines and other sources and spread them out, picking images that speak to me in that moment. Then I just see what works together, and what compositions are appealing and strike a cord. The two images that are a part of this collage came out to me, and worked well together. It was sort of a shock that that was what I created that day, as I wasn't planning on making a collage about the pandemic. It's also ironic, given that I was looking for toilet paper in town and couldn't find any (as many people couldn't, after stopping at multiple stores). I think it's important, in that it highlights something I think many who lived through it will remember: the initial panic and the resulting lack of basic material needs in stores as many stocked up on them.
