A Hug or something like it

Hug Packets are live at:

Amy Wike reimagines hugs during the time of physical distancing. As it became clear that the outbreak of the novel coronavirus would limit human interaction, local illustrator and watercolor artist Amy Wike turned to art to process her feelings. “Before enough time had even elapsed for me to miss hugs, I knew that was going to be a big hurdle for me,” Wike says, and she “was trying to mentally prepare and figure out ways to combat that.”So she reimagined hugs through her project “A Hug or Something Like It,” which delivers visual interpretations of hugs as $20 care packages that Wike calls “Hug Packets.” The artwork is made by D.C.-area artists, who create 2.5 by 2.5-inch pieces in any medium. Some take the hug theme literally, like a couple embracing and kissing through face masks; others are abstract, like a collection of concentric circles.
