The Yetisquatch and How I Learned to Stop Worrying About the Pandemic, Mixed Media and Yarn, 2020
As our current existence has reached a dull monotony, humanity yearns for escape, to another world, another existence, an alternative reality. These days, it seems that this other world has converged with ours.
Yetisquatch is meant to embody the current human condition. There is constant longing for others and fear of isolation but for our own safety and the safety of others we must isolate. People are lonely, scared, and confused. We are living through traumatizing times. There is nothing wrong with the desire to find an escape. We need to believe in Yetisquatch because we need to believe that we will get through this and will be stronger afterwards.
