COVID-19 Reflections...
Beijing, China
Due to the outbreak of Covid-19, I have stayed at home for three months, keeping a close eye on both domestic and global epidemic development while feeling really anxious. During the same period of time I have been exploring various expressions of Polaroid. I’m always obsessed with the quality of Polaroid — it is like a thermometer, presenting the changes of my feelings and thoughts in a timely and sensitive manner.
