quarantine

Description

Quarantine is the act of greeting invisible pathogens as unwelcome guests while slamming society’s doors shut. The pretext of preventing outbreaks becomes a sacred myth demanding the sacrifice of freedom and movement. People delude themselves into feeling safe, paradoxically leaving the gates of fear perpetually open. Those who enforce the system fear nothing more than biases and mountains of paperwork.
