IF I WERE QUARANTINED WITH YOU


 

 

Using a series of original photographs taken between 2016-2019, this artwork explores the emotional vacuum and isolation the COVID-19 pandemic has created. The photographs reflect the intimate thoughts of facing a long unrequited romance during the current quarantine period.
Photographs included are taken in Prague, London, Seattle, Portland, Phoenix, and Munich during solo travels.
