F or this week’s cover on how Americans are reacting to the existing surge in covid-19 cases, we relied on London-based artists Sean Freeman and Eve Steben to capture the bleak forecast ahead.
The duo, who form There Is Studio and specialize in combining typography and photo illustration, produced an eerie, foreboding sense of isolation with a frosted window outside their east London home.

” Developing a cover about lockdown while in lockdown is a fascinating artistic and production difficulty,” says Freeman, who produced the image in less than a day. “We produced this versus the clock, within our own little isolation bubble– using our own windows, as well as a tremendous quantity of prop snow, shot during a grey, however rather warm London day.”

” We have actually felt the severe truth of covid quite personally here with Eve getting seriously ill from it at the start of the pandemic, in addition to some family and friends catching it here and abroad,” added Freeman. “On the other hand, the circumstance also brought some positivity for us.”
” Taking pleasure in life at a various speed, also this heartfelt sense of neighborhood, cooperation and camaraderie that covid has actually brought in our community and beyond, have been a solace. Seeing how the regional organizations and locals have been kindly assisting one another has been definitely amazing and motivating.”
