This photo is a representation of how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed how I view public spaces, as what was once a safe space is now uncertain and unsafe due to the invisibility of covid and the carelessness of some individuals. The uncertainty makes me feel powerless, which was represented in this photo as the character representing myself at the back of the tram appears smaller.
