Doris McCarthy Collection
-
Description
-
Doris McCarthy (1910-2010) was a celebrated Canadian artist, author, teacher, and UTSC alumna. The Doris McCarthy fonds and 213 pieces of her artwork were donated to the University of Toronto Scarborough in 2011 by the estate of Doris McCarthy. There are many treasures within the fonds that speak to her influence as a pioneer for women in Canadian art and as a national cultural icon. Biographical highlights in the fonds include over five decades of correspondence between McCarthy and her best friend, Marjorie Beer (née Wood); diaries written by McCarthy between the ages of 12 and 90; personal artifacts and keepsakes; photographs of her family, life and travels dating back to the late 19th Century; and draft manuscripts of McCarthy's autobiographical publications.

Sunset Photo Collage
-
Description
-
My collage of the sunset photographs deeply reflects my own understanding of health during the COVID-19 global pandemic. My personality is very extroverted, so when we all began to quarantine and isolate, it affected my mental health greatly. In each photograph, I put the date to remember what each day was like and refer back to them to realize how far I’ve come on my mental health journey. Out of the many bad days I have survived during quarantine, these were a few pictures I captured which made me feel better. This had made me come to a realization that although I cannot see my friends to make myself feel better, the fresh air, watching sunsets and starting to take interest in photography became my new coping mechanisms. I realized that taking care of yourself doesn’t always mean you need medicinal treatment. It’s important to take fresh air when you can, and enjoy nature to feel at peace. This was definitely one of the biggest lessons COVID-19 had taught me because while you are not physically infected with the virus, during quarantine the only things you could possibly do is go for walks and drives.

Meditative Tower
-
Description
-
This piece is a general representation of my personal understanding of health and the ways in which it has guided my thoughts when I tested positive for COVID-19. The structure represents three layers of understanding, supporting a young girl covered by a dark cloud. The young girl and the dark cloud are a metaphor for how the virus temporarily carried a dark, sad presence over my life, adversely impacting my social, mental, physical and spiritual health. The three foundational layers, however, represent the key models of health that were significant in my understanding of how to approach the virus. The bolts of light ‘emitted’ are meant to represent the way my understanding of these perspectives had helped reduce the darkness and confusion during that tough time. Layer one focuses on medical anthropology and the way my cultural and spiritual understandings played a role in my recovery, specifically focusing on the involvement of certain effective Sudanese and Islamic remedies. Layer two targets my personal beliefs when maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The third and final layer represents how I prioritized the opinions of physicians and professional healthcare workers who rely on the use of medicine to regulate the effects of the virus. Overall, realizing the value of cultural, lifestyle, and medical understandings of health was a substantial element in approaching the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Toronto: Before and After
-
Description
-
The first picture shows the Toronto Raptors championship parade that happened in 2019. The second picture shows the city of Toronto during the pandemic where people were told to self isolate. These pictures are very significant for me because I'm a huge Toronto Raptors fan and I attended the games in the playoffs. It was one of the best times of my life as I got to experience it with my best friends. Fast forward to 2020, the NBA cancelled their basketball season due to the pandemic. The second picture depicts my feelings during the pandemic: empty. I always thought that health referred to medicine and illnesses. However, I learned about health geography, medical anthropology, health psychology, and health economics. They are all different but they all intertwine with each other. People didn't follow procedures when dealing with COVID-19, which caused many people to get sick and resulted in a lot of deaths. If only people wore masks, had proper hygiene, socially distanced, and followed other COVID-related restrictions, then less people would be infected and the closer we would be towards reopening, and the closer we would be to watching Raptors games.
