Ross, Yasmine

Isolation is a portrait of an individual, but a shared human experience. A lot of the shots and editing pace were used to emphasize how disoriented quarantine can feel. Each day blends together, as we dissociate from our temporal structures. This vignette is an honest portrayal of the up and downs, the raw and reflective moments, and the often overwhelming loneliness that the pandemic has beautifully forced us to experience. Yet through our shared discomfort we've learned how to self-sooth our own means for comfort and self-understanding.
