Our tunnel towards hope. Sweet and silent.
At the end of every dark time in history, maybe we can carry a few memories of simplicity and sweetness. They can be simple things, such as a comfy blanket, brewed coffee, liveliness of feelings, a safe home, and warmth around the comfort space. These are the only thing we’ll remember and take forward to the future when this pandemic over.
In above pictures, we tried our best to project certain essence of relationship, uncertainty, pain, and tensions through our stories of hope. Remember, simplicity is one of those tool essential in dealing with a pandemic.
We all have to create our tools for survival.
I wanted to be hopeful. This is our storytelling photography experiment, which revolves around an image and story that captures a moment with tension, silence, inspiration, and emotions. We focuses on the moment and tells the story of isolation and hope during the pandemic through our collaborator’s work.
