That does not look good. It appears to be either a failing Display or a failing GPU on your MacBook Air. You may be able to temporarily fix it through Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook Air here ➔ How to Reset SMC.

If that does not work then have your MacBook AIr examined at the Apple Store or at an Authorized Repair Center once they open back up in your area.
