, the toddler son he has mostly sequestered in privacy, this week. The photos were taken by the cutting-edge fine artist Catherine Opie.) There is no party, needless to say: Drake strolls his manse alone, clad in the full face mask, gloves and camo jacket of someone trying to dodge whatever's in the air.His journey reenacts the past month's all-too-common transition from public to private.
Our convivial ghost continues his solo turn through darkened rooms where portraits of lost and distanced heroes – Prince, Snoop Dogg – hang on the wall.

The video is an instant artifact, a dream version of our world's collective nightmare. Viewers may gaze in envy at Drake's privilege, the luxury of space.
