During this year we have<br> all experienced new and challenging events, but I wanted to document how the<br> pandemic has affected my experience coming into adulthood, and the extra<br> anxieties COVID has brought with it. With this piece I wanted to comment on the<br> pandemic. The mundanity of the everyday, maintaining relationships through<br> finding new ways of communication, dealing with emotions and the feeling of<br> isolation. As well as the typical stresses that face young adults including<br> exams, future plans, leaving home and changes to relationships and friendships<br> as people move on to the next step of their lives.&nbsp; &nbsp; Yurie Nagashima has been a huge<br> influence to this project, her <i style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"">Self-Portraits</i"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;""><br> photography project took 24 years to create and chronologically display her<br> life as she explores love, adulthood, becoming a mother and the role of a<br> woman. Alessandra Sanguinetti documented the relationship between her cousin<br> and her friend through their childhood and journey into adultence in </span"><i style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"">The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and The<br> Illusion of an Everlasting Summer</i"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"">. Both of these photographers use film to<br> create works that perfectly capture the progression of time and this is<br> something that I wanted to explore in my work even when it's on a smaller<br> scale.&nbsp; &nbsp;</span">I believe that everyone will be<br> able to find something they can connect with in this piece, as this pandemic<br> has affected everyone.</h4">
