In Your Head
It's easy to get too deep into your own head when you're cut off physically from your friends or family in the time of this Movement Control Order. In the first few weeks of the partial quarantine I often felt like I was trapped in a box and I could smell the thick smoke around me. I was trapped in my own mind.

I Miss You
Not everyone will be social distancing with their families or significant others. There are some who are staying safe, alone. The longing for companionship during this time can increase and we start holding on tighter to the things left to us by our loved ones. A photo of happier times, a birthday letter, a jacket that smells like them.

Confusion & Fear
The internet is saturated with information on the pandemic, both factual and contradicting. It can be confusing and potentially helps create fear in you. The idea of not knowing what to believe, and when we don't know what to believe we get scared and become slaves to fear.

Nocturnal
Don't be surprised if you find yourself experiencing things you never had prior to the MCO. The days have blended, no one knows if it's Monday or Friday. It doesn't matter if you sleep at 9PM or 3AM anymore. At one point, I had found that I turned into an owl, awake by night and asleep in the day.

Hope
It is important to hold on to hope. Hope that one day we will not need to wear the RM5.90 Daiso Masks to protect others and ourselves. I chose the black mask and not the white-blue one because I did not want anyone to think of the mask burning in a negative way. I wanted this photo to symbolize how that fire of hope for the fear of the virus to one day come to an end should be kept lit in ourselves.
