Like so many people around the world dealing with the global pandemic, I suddenly found myself restricted by a set of walls, unable to go out and roam the streets to discover and photograph the compositions I have grown so fond of. After a brief period of adjusting to the new situation, I decided to use the house as my new playground, sharing the results as #scenefromhome on Instagram which became a way for others to do the same.

Initially worried that my familiarity with my subject would make me lose my interest, I soon realized these restrictions allowed for a new appreciation of what I thought I knew so well. A newfound focus made me more aware of the transformative power of light. I developed a greater affection for the fleeting nature of light and shadow dancing through the day, increasing my fascination for the familiar.
