Quarantine Faces: Art in Isolation
When the world retreated indoors in 2020, I turned my lens inward. Amidst the fear, loss, and endless monotony of lockdown life, an unexpected creative spark ignited. Armed with just an ultra-wide lens in my small apartment, I set out to capture the raw essence of our collective isolation.
What began as a way to document boredom transformed into something unexpectedly powerful. The lens's dramatic perspective distortion proved to be a perfect metaphor for our distorted reality, lending an eerily compelling—sometimes darkly humorous—quality to each portrait. These images tell the story of how we looked, felt, and survived when the world stood still.
