IN THESE STRANGE AND UNCERTAIN TIMES

This series was inspired by a vacant storefront I came across while in Philadelphia in April 2022. In the window someone had written, “In These Strange and Uncertain Times.” To me this scene represents the struggle we have faced in these “strange” times of the pandemic. It represents the people, businesses, and experiences we have lost. It is a reminder that nothing is the same as it was. When I saw the window of this building, I felt a pang of nostalgia. I wondered what business used to thrive in this now abandoned space and if anything would flourish there again. I carried this inspiration with me as I continued to photograph different buildings, objects, and scenes that reminded me how much things have changed and brought back memories of what was before the pandemic.
