When the pandemic started I was terrified, but I was still one of the privileged ones during this surreal time. I was able to hold my day job, the safety of a home, and most importantly the love from my family. But the moments of fear were there. I made up scenarios where I would lose everything. Every night I dreamed that I would choke, waking up feeling trapped and powerless. How was I able to protect the people that I loved, when the enemy felt like a ghost? 

In the middle of this chaos I found someone who I fell deeply in love with. I was surrounded by death; the death of people, the death of a past relationship but in the middle of it all a new love came by. A ray of light in a broken world. 

I want to dedicate this project to Sam, my love. Despite the discomfort standing in front of a camera, you did it anyway. Gracefully. I also want to dedicate this to my parents, who I would be nothing without.

It is there, my dear, where we will begin again."
