“People say you have to travel to see the world. Sometimes I think that if you just stay in one place and keep your eyes open, you’re going to see just about all that you can handle.” — Paul Auster
In February 2020, lockdown began in Belgium. Like many, I felt disoriented, but I also sensed an unexpected opportunity: time.
I turned my attention to our small garden and the Magnolia tree at its center. For twelve days, I photographed it from the same position, one frame at a time, letting the days accumulate quietly on a single roll of film.
The film remained undeveloped for four years.
This is My COVID Garden.
