Before the pandemic, I wasn’t exactly an art world jet-setter, but I did travel somewhat regularly. This year, being homebound for the better part of nine months has left me feeling loopy and itching for escape. I want to get away, not just from my apartment but from my own brain. Looking at art helps with that, as does scrolling through social media and these Instagram accounts, in particular, transport me.
