This 3D model represents a challenging jigsaw puzzle that is part of a digital collection highlighting Covid-19's impact. The puzzle features 1000 intricately designed pieces, showcasing an oil painting landscape theme. Originally created in London in 1760 as a dissected map for geography education, the concept has evolved over time to become a popular puzzle game played worldwide. The material and theme have undergone significant changes as the puzzle's appeal extends beyond its educational roots. In this current period of crisis, the jigsaw puzzle assumes greater significance. During the Covid-19 pandemic, people found themselves confined to their homes for extended periods, leading to an increased demand for indoor entertainment options. The jigsaw puzzle has emerged as a favorite pastime among many, offering a complex and time-consuming challenge that requires dedication. As I spent hours working on this 3D model during the lockdown, I discovered the therapeutic benefits of engaging with puzzles like these. Concentrating on assembling the puzzle piece by piece helps to focus one's attention, effectively reducing anxiety and depression caused by the isolation.
