And all of the symbolism attached to that word, especially NOW. And so for anyone who didn't really know what it means to not be able to breathe, REALLY breathe, for generations, now you know. And those who already do, you'll be nodding yep yep, that is exactly how it is.

A profound visual testimony to how much changed while we all had to stay inside and how much-painfully, mournfully-stayed the same.
