Artist Statement

Quarantine Diary 
I took these images while in quarantine, during March-April, 2020. I documented my feeling of isolation. I believe all of our images at this time are a collective history, in which people around the world were caught in a historic moment together experiencing the changes in daily life caused by the novel corona virus. As well as documenting, I also posted my daily images on Instagram & Facebook, pushing outside of my comfort zone, since I am not a frequent user of social media. The cycle was complete as I viewed how other documented their daily lives.
