The recent coronavirus pandemic has forced most of us into our households. For students, that means unexpectedly returning.
When I came back home, I was pushed into a situation that brought me back to memories of a younger time. My sister, who is independent, is now living with us temporarily. And with the quarantine, we are all forced to interact with each other on a more close and daily basis. Something that hasn’t happened in years.
This sequence is an attempt to reach at the surreal tragedy that follows the passage of time from childhood to present. It is meant to evoke a sense of bittersweet nostalgia for who you’ve become and from where your journey started.
"Nostalgia is a bittersweet yearning for the past. It’s sweet because it allows us to momentarily relive good times; it’s bitter because we recognize that those times can never return." - Krystine Batcho
