The character on the image is Gon Freecs from the anime Hunter X Hunter. The emotions behind this iconic pose are associated with rage, angst, and a burning desire for revenge. All Gon did was patiently wait, until he could face Pitou in battle, honouring her wishes.

The emotions correspond with how many of us felt during the pandemic. Fear, anxiety, rage, angst.. we sat at home mindlessly distracting ourselves and escaping our reality while the front line warriors fought the war for us.
We waited, and followed the rules. We waited and saw it through. We did our bit. This is a homage to the people who stayed at home.
