I should be leaving this country in less than a week. I should be boarding a plane that will take me back to the life that I have had on hold for 9 months. I should be cruising at 38,000 ft back to the weirdo of a human I call my partner.

But if there is one thing I have learned in the past 24 months, it is that nothing ever goes the way you think it will. And I would never have expected a pandemic to keep me from returning to the country where I’ve built my life - Japan.

So instead of packing a suitcase, I am undertaking a new photography project. I hope to use this project as a tool to document this peculiar time in my life, when I am isolated from not only the country that I have been trying for so long to return to, but also the person I’ve been building that life with. I aim to use my photography to express my mental state as time passes, and capture the small details of moments that occur during that time.
