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.

The time spent together on 63 square meters intensified our relationship. But this situation also ended. The first trip to the supermarket was near. I hardly dared to take a deep breath and was surprised to discover that the world still existed. Many regulations were implemented, people wore masks, kept their distance, plexiglass was everywhere and shopping now took twice as long. Toilet paper was no longer available on the shelves but only at the cash desk on demand and only between eight and nine o‘clock, after that it was sold out.
