When the world shut down in March 2020, artist Eliza Reinhardt began recreating famous paintings using only clothes, bed linen, and things she had around the house. What started as a daily creative challenge quickly became a long-running project, filled with detail, color, and quiet humor.

While her dog Finn is often the star of her other series, these particular recreations feature just Eliza, usually tucked into a corner of the scene, surrounded by carefully arranged fabric that brings each painting to life in a completely new way.
