An Unexpected Lesson in Joy (2020)
14 March 2020. A strange calm descends upon the land. The virus keeps everyone inside and paralyses public life. The rat race grinds to a halt. We don't know what’s coming our way. With the prospect of a long-term quarantine, I start a diary. I photograph familiar things: my home, my family. In this reduced world there is time, there is silence. And then spring comes.
The book ‘An Unexpected Lesson in Joy’ was self-published and is available in my webshop. The series was part of the group show ‘The World Within’ at Hangar Photo Art Center in Brussels in 2021.
