Like all street photographers, being isolated at home with no or few people in the streets was a real challenge. New York was no longer its usual vibrant self. The new plague has confined all of us, allowing for introspection and imagination to capture the new fuzzy reality made of risk and fear. Anxiety ebbs and flows; the past seems blurred, the present doesn't make sense, and the future is uncertain. And yet you try to overcome the paralysis, to reinvent yourself.
