Collected Item: “Adios”

Give your story a title.

Adios

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

Meme, it was sent to me by a friend.

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.

The image portrays a single man of unknown origin standing upon an empty void. Though a beautiful sight lies in front of the man, he decides to look down whilst saying his farewell. This image relates to the pandemic because of the feeling that it conveys. The feeling of having such a beautiful sight be plagued by a farewell. Just like the events of March 6th, when a message from the district gave students a 3-week "vacation" of online school. The thought of no school is exceptionally exciting, but the thought of saying farewell to your friends would plague the moment.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

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