Growin' Pains

"Growin' Pains" is an ongoing body of work exploring Escapism, the Video-Game "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" and my personal journey with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dealing with everyday life can be challenging enough already, "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" provides a paradise of endless possibilities in a time where we are unable to leave our homes as freely and unable to fully enjoy our day-to-day lives.

Escapism within Video-Games is more important than ever before. Having a place you can go to where everything can be consistent, predictable and perfect.
