Director Statement

During the pandemic, while people were instructed to stay at home and separate from others as much as possible, a few essential workers in the midst of anxiety had to leave their homes for work not knowing exactly how the disease was spreading. To avoid getting overwhelmed with anxiety and possibly depression, I decided to document the life of my husband, an essential worker. My goal is to share it with the world to establish common ground and empathy for essential workers, and all of us that had to experience the uncertainty of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
