CAMERA - Lockdown Stories 2020 - Amanda & Terrance

"During lockdown, it was pretty much me and my son, as my partner worked days and days on end. We live in a communal flat block on the very top floor. The front door almost locking us away from the world, but when we went out we felt almost free. Free from being locked in and free from lots of schoolwork! I've felt more anxious than I ever have before. My stress levels rocketed. Home schooling was difficult, but our bond became really strong as we were in this together." Amanda.

These audio recordings are an ongoing documentation of the residents and workers I photographed. In 2022 I asked them to reflect back on the 2020 lockdown and tell me their story.
