SINGAPORE - When Aaron Yeo's mother wanted to buy masks to protect the family against Covid-19 in March, it got him thinking.
The budding artist put his thoughts into the painting, Masks, which took him three weeks to complete. He also created Noises, a collage of positive and negative words cut from English and Chinese newspapers, which represents his stress during the pandemic. He is among several children who are sharing their pandemic-themed art in The Straits Times, which runs the gamut of experiences from bubble tea withdrawal to social distancing.
He also lectures at tertiary institutions and teaches art as therapy for children with special needs at several charities.
