Shelter in Fear
by Eva Chen
Artist's Statement
I shot this at the height of the pandemic, when the air surrounding Covid-19 was one that was packed with fear, uncertainty, and skepticism. “Shelter in Fear” tries to capture this period of Covid — by framing an ominous photo featuring hands caged behind a window, this piece showcases the feelings shared by many during the pandemic.
Six Feet Apart
by Eva Chen
Artist's Statement
I took this photo of my sister, Angela, on a balcony during quarantine. It’s a portrait that has a forward message to it: six feet apart. There’s no hidden meaning behind the photo, rather, it captures the main idea of the pandemic: six feet apart, masks on. It’s shot in black and grey in an effort to promote this message: the focus isn’t the surroundings, but my sister herself, and the mask.
