The Quarantine Collection is a series of photos taken in February and March 2021 while I quarantined alone in a Hong Kong hotel room for 21 days. I wasn't allowed to leave my room, and nobody was allowed to come in. Every day I received three hot meals in a brown paper bags. With a glut of paper bags and little else to do, I decided to have some fun and make myself some friends and share them with the HK Quarantine Support Group on Facebook. I'd wait until the sun was at the perfect spot, peeking between two Wanchai skyscrapers (always between 3 and 4), sketch out a bag character without a plan, throw the bag on my head, then take the photos. As someone who's never been good at developing routine or habits, I liked that there was an end date to my experiment. I also liked the constraints. My only materials were paper bags, a fat sharpie, postit notes, tiny embroidery scissors, and human hair (see Day 20). When I staged the photos, I couldn't see anything at all so it was always a surprise to review my camera roll after. I enjoyed making them and hope you enjoy them too!
