I’m back home, settled in with the rest of the family for the remainder of a mixed-up quarantine. Although I’m testing negative now and will probably not infect anyone, I’m so exhausted that I don’t want to be out and about. This week’s pendant captures the bumpiness of the quarantine period, as well as the little gems of rest, calm and beauty that came from spending an extra week by the sea in Mexico and taking time to let my body heal. I’ve used 40 pieces of bone to represent the traditional 40 days of quarantine. Although the COVID quarantine period depends on where you are (5 days in the US, 10 days if you’re stuck in Mexico…) it seems like all together our family’s illness journey will take at least 40 days.
