Office Versus Home

Work on "Guardians of the Four Directions" took place at the very beginning of the coronavirus outbreak and required the artist to be lifted as high as 120 feet from street level.

Cita Sadeli saw the start of the pandemic from a different angle than most: standing on an articulated lift, hovering 120 feet above street level. She spent much of early March 2020 painting a mural on the exterior of Hotel Xena in downtown Washington, DC, watching from above as the coronavirus outbreak slowly caught the city in its grip.

“I started March 1, and the city shut down around mid-March,” she said in a phone interview. “I got to see the whole city change from that very high vantage point, people were dragging their office chairs across the square to take it home, because they weren’t going to come back to their office. Everyone was freaked out.” (CNN)

From her Position 120 feet in the air while painting a mural, she was able to be an eyewitness to the sudden transition of America’s workforce from office to home.

We are still adjusting to home versus office and companies are trying to decide what to do next.

What is the answer?
