Euphoria

 

Throughout lockdown, I lived in a tiny apartment, which led me to imagine living in a house with a flower garden. My grandparent’s house in Korea that I visited after border restrictions were lifted was the house I had been dreaming of.

A self portrait taken during lockdown; because we were not allowed to be in public during the early stages of the pandemic, I would drive around at night and find places to create photographs.About the Photographer:

Vanessa Merritt is an Indian-American 35mm film and digital photographer and performer living in Michigan. By adopting a variety of art making approaches, Merritt explores the intersections of the political and the personal. They photograph everything from minority communities to self portraiture, including documenting queer relationships and body manipulation in indoor and natural spaces. A largely self-taught photographer, the framework of their practice crystallizes through the disciplines of feminism, queer theory, and environmentalism.
