‍Type of Mask:  Fabric double-layered cotton mask in an origami-fold design.

‍

I chose this mask because: it’s patterned and reminds me of my favourite season, autumn. 

‍

I got this mask from: Etsy. This is my second mask from Etsy after a plain grey one I bought in the early days of the pandemic. After searching through several “sellers” and various designs, I settled on this because of the 1000+ reviews. It was shipped the next day from New York and reached me via USPS in three days. 

‍‍‍‍

I feel unsafe and exposed without my mask 

‍

‍My mask enables me to: step out of the house everyday for a walk. 

‍

When I think of #Logistics during this pandemic, these three words come to mind: challenge, crisis, and “novel”.
