Alone Together in Progress/Pipo


Being quarantined in Vietnam upon my arrival on March 20th was an opportunity for me to think critically about  of cultural authenticity and home. Another environment and situation forced me to be resourceful and adjust my work accordingly. The camera gave me a sense of purpose during my 17 days living in a tiny room with 4 strangers. I documented  different rooms, trying to map the different unintentional and transitory homes shared by strangers.

Apparently there is such thing as varsity fishing I had no idea).
