The Lobster's Echo

The Lobster's Echo

The Lobster's Echo is an apparatus one can not only use to fight the uphill battle against the microscopic organism, but also social distance from the imposing master in our head. White padded walls and floor, including the looming shadow that mimics Rodin's The Thinker, confronts the harsh reality of the new mental and physical cage of our mind. As obligatory orders for social distancing and shelter-in-place extend, proximity to our minds inexorable agonizing dominates and imprisons. How can we mobilize as isolated individuals when presented with a false dichotomy?
