When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in 2020, I was forced to stay at home for a long time, suffocated by the compression of space and the concrete sense of time. While everyone began to maintain social distance, I wanted to escape home, break the distance and get in touch with people in reality.
I started to explore the mostly unknown private spaces of strangers. We chatted and did everyday things together, and they lent me their clothes and accessories so I could ‘be them.’ A tacit understanding between my subjects and me was, ‘When I give you a sense of security you need to keep me safe.’ This kind of private connection involved exchanging so much personal information that we started to ‘become’ each other.

The work involves nude photography, and this limited format helps protect the privacy and dignity of those involved, while reducing the risk of the images being misused or taken out of context online.
