What Protects You?

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

Its a video, recorded by myself

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

This story is very significant for me as its something that I never thought i would have lived, a pandemic. I was very lucky of passing this past six months in my home with my family where I have learned to value everything a lot I spend most of the time in my home. What I have uploaded is a video from a very recognized mountain called el Avila which happens to be my every morning view from my balcony. El Avila represents protection to our city, the same way the mask is protection for us in these very critical moments.

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)

Andres Garcia Damasco
