Artist’s Statement

Restrictions, limitations, distance. We stay distanced from others. There’s no certainty. Capturing subjects at home, at early stage of the pandemic, saw joy and frustrations reflected. With insight into the expected, more challenging stage ahead, the subjects were posed with intent. The refined, printed format of a book, allows the beholder to experience the journey privately and intimately.
