OUR QUARANTINE LIFE
In April 14, 2020, when the pandemic broke out and everything was shut down, I decided to document  daily life of my little cousins, Tsion and Fikir, through photography. And i named this series "our quarantine life" in this collection i capture 178 photographs in general from April 14 , 2020 to oct 28 , 2020 After 48 days of lockdown, Tsion and Fikir began to ask questions like, 'What is going on outside? Is everything okay? When will we be able to go out and go to school?' And, I tried to capture their feelings. During the lockdown, they spent their time looking outside through the window, trying to seek sunlight inside the home. Quarantine life during lockdown was quite a unique experience for  all of us  Imagine waking up each day, knowing that you couldn't go to school or meet your friends. Everything suddenly changed, and it felt like a big pause button was pressed on life. At first, it might have seemed a bit exciting no school, no early morning rush,  and more time to watch movies and so on, But as the days turned into weeks, things started to feel different. The walls of the house seemed to close in, and the routine of staying indoors all the time began to get a bit boring. In a way, quarantine life taught us about patience and resilience. We learned to adapt to a new way of living, even though it wasn't easy.
