Abstract : During the Covid-19 pandemic, many international students have to push themselves to get up at 5am or stay up late until 2-3 am to join the virtual class via zoom from many different timezone. To convey different timezone and sunrise/sunset time of each student, the shadow in this project is used with ticking clock sound to mimic the eerie and exhausted mood of the virtual classroom.
