In late 2019, Skyeris fell ill with a strange respiratory illness. As someone with a long history of respiratory ailments, she was puzzled by the intensity of what she concluded must be a bad flu. Except that in the new year, the illness morphed into raging aggravation of her pre-existing chronic illness, along with unnerving brain fog, disorientation, and profound exhaustion.Only after the pandemic began did she understand the source of her acute illness. Several more months passed before she had any idea of the larger implications of Long Covid. In those fiery collective years, she sequestered herself as much as possible, emotionally most of all.From this journey both collective and isolated, unfolding all over the world and yet mostly at home, she shares the steady despair and rare triumphs. Through screens, in her own body, or anywhere else, she traverses the intensity of the pandemic, but most profoundly the labyrinth of the heart.
