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.
