Like most people, Markosian spent many early days of

the pandemic at home. With her world made smaller

and her creative spirit still strong, she turned her

focus inward, finding subjects within her walls. For

one series, she took a smartphone into her bathroom

and staged self-portraits. To set up this image, she

brought in a live butterfly, photographing it and her

hand against a window with opaque privacy glass. In

the moment, Markosian imagined a similarity with

the insect: having wings but being unable to fly away.
