This project is a space for young people to have a voice — to express their thoughts and feelings regarding the Coronavirus Pandemic that’s currently hovering over their childhood. By documenting children between five and fifteen years old, and hearing what they have to say, I hope to create a greater awareness of how their lives are being affected, and foster a deeper appreciation for the young ones of our time. This acknowledges how the trauma of tragedy is no respecter of age
Mentor: Jody Quon, Director of Photography, New York Magazine
Working with my mentor was truly an honor. I learned so much through our time together and gained an immense amount of inspiration that I’ll forever carry with me as I continue creating.
