Give your story a title.

How I broke my arm and why I sculpted the cast.

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

I made a clay cast as I, personally, broke my arm during COVID. This has affected me a lot recently so it falls under ”personal.”

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.

I broke my arm again yayy!

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?
