"I think that this picture represents that I was confident in taking the vaccine. But there was also a lot of people in my life that were telling me different things about the vaccine, like maybe you should take it, or you shouldn’t take it. And I think those tiles that are facing up with the letters are kind of in agreement of taking the vaccine whereas the titles are faceless they are against it."

"I was living in a world where it was all about survival. It wasn’t about socializing.  It wasn’t about going out. It wasn’t about school, work. It was nothing. It was about survival. And the word “stop” kind of reminded me how all the stores and all the locations (…) around the world has stopped, has stopped working, has stopped opening."

Bored and socially deprived

"The pandemic resulted in social isolation which lead to extreme boredom. Usually, I would spend a lot of time with my friends and connecting with them at a variety of public spaces such as the park, cafes and much more. The pandemic led me to primarily communicate with individuals through text which really wasn't the same as in person communication."

Hazmat photos

"It’s ironic isn't it, that someone who didn't want to get the vaccine would go to such lengths to protect himself from the virus while refusing to get a simple shot. Well, perhaps it is. But, in my mind, a gas mask and hazmat suit pose at worst a temporary discomfort, whereas the vaccine could potentially cause lifelong issues."

"In the photos, the beams from the street lights cut through the darkness, symbolizing the idea that there can always be light no matter how dark the night gets. In that sense, the street lights serve as a metaphor for the vaccine, symbolizing the hope and optimism that comes with receiving it. Overall, I took these photos to convey the idea that getting the vaccine represented a step toward having the pandemic over with."

"The abandoned house had so much inside of it – almost like a story that we would all be curious to know – like who lived there, what happened, et cetera (…). And all the beautiness, that there are some uncertainties and we don’t know the whole information about it."
