CoVida

2020

At the beginning, nobody would have predicted that the quarantine would last more than forty days.

CoVida was born during that long stretch of time. I decided to document my own family’s life and to pay attention to the small everyday gestures that isolation and protective habits produced. The project has a single setting throughout: our house.
