Roses

I am an international student from China, who has experienced the pandemic for ⅔ of my time in College like many others did as well. It has been 3 years now since the pandemic first broke out and I myself am close to the moment of graduation and wish to leave these pictures as a memory of the time spent under the mask.

I have decided to take these photographs of these withered flowers covered by masks to memorize what has happened during these three years around the world and still continue in my home country. The masks which signify Covid-19 have taken away too much time and passion from people, a tragedy and destruction to the entire world.

Through these images, I truly wish for the end of the pandemic and for “Roses” to bloom again.
