Hello everyone, it has been a chaotic couple of weeks. When Spring break began, I was in New York visiting someone when I got the news that Bowdoin would be kicking students out. My friend was also kicked out of his dorm and so I spent those days packing up his things and then my own. Everything has felt incredibly fast and slow at the same time.<\/p>\n

I thought I would capture a couple of moments that represent daily life for me. I decided to isolate myself from my family just in case I came in contact with someone with COVID-19 while in New York. That was difficult for me especially in a time in which we all need someone, but I knew it was the right choice. Since then my days have consisted of online work and walks.<\/p>\n

I am now back in East Boston, where I grew up and these walks have reminded me of how eerily silent it is. Occasionally you see another walker but either you or they cross the street to avoid any contact. I wanted to document leaving New York and coming back to Boston using my phone camera to document the feelings of isolation and how life has been changed in a short period of time. It is easy to feel alone without a routine but my family has helped with creating structure by having us all participate in making dinner which is something I wish I had taken a picture of. I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
