A Virtual Summer project was selected and published in our print edition 20. A story about a girl being stuck at home pretending to be on the beach.
Looking up into the sky, the girl immediately realized the puffy clouds. Cotton balls in the blue sky. A nice day to live, she thought - if it wasnít for the boredom in American Suburbia.
I called this set “Another pandemic Easter (2021)”. Something that came into my mind while editing, and not really during the shoot. So besides the Easter theme, the photos may not have a lot of drama, narrative one may think.

She surely memorized every bush, shrub and berry by now. Her mom spent the past two hours explaining in detail how to get to grandma's house and she had to recite everything she said.
Waking as if from a dream, she stumbled forwards. She turned around but it was too late, the door slammed shut behind her.
One of the strongest arguments against photography as an art form is the ability of a viewer to simply and quickly take in all of the aspects of a photo, and move on.
Brighton wasn't exactly the coolest place in England. "A lot of old people, mum!" So Taylor wasn't too excited to visit her Grandma for the weekend, as a London girl, the seaside town wasn’t what she was looking for.
