The past few weeks have been eye-opening, frustrating, confusing, and heartbreaking. Initially, I felt so stuck that I didn’t want to pick up a camera or a paintbrush and create anything.<\/p>\n

I was so caught up in the moment of everything stopping that It was hard for me to think of how I could move forward. I had convinced myself to pick up my phone and take a few pictures that reflected and evoked my feelings at each moment.<\/p>\n

I understand that we are living in a historical moment and I wanted to take part in documenting that. It hasn’t been easy to find motivation as an artist for me during this time, but having stepped away from these images and bringing them back again I see the story they each tell and for me that is the essence of this. Capturing the moments of happiness, anger, and confusion. These images reflect the various emotions I’ve felt throughout the last few weeks and allow me to reflect on my own emotional growth in this process.<\/p>\n
