CPOY 75 COVID Experience Bronze: Periodic Waves

During the time in quarantine, I had a lot of time to think. I started taking self-portraits as a visual expression of my reflection process. My portraits were taken during the period of isolation, but reflect the year 2020, which has tested me emotionally as never before. I challenged myself on telling my story through moods rather than through concrete actions. I feel as if bad things keep recurring, like every two months. But the good things are also repeated, but they are usually harder to perceive. In my head, the image of periodic waves arose: Waves of good and of bad, which interfere and to which we humans are consistently exposed.

Then came the 29.02.2020, the day that hardly exists. On this day our child left, after nine weeks. It was a painful night, especially for her. We spent six hours in the emergency room. When I walked home alone at half past six, it seemed as if someone had turned on the lights after a film was shown and now there is nothing but reality - just the two of us.
