"I am not a mother, but the mandatory quarantine becomes an opportunity to live with two great friends and their two little human beings, little nephews in my heart, an occasion to understand their rhythms and energies, the challenges of parenting and its complexities. "
Buenos Aires, Argentina, March 2020.
I live without TV for almost 15 years. For this lockdown, shared with friends of the neighborhood in a big house TV as suddenly covered more protagonism in our lives.

On the first morning of self-quarantine, an unexpected blossom of light appears on the wall in my partner's apartment near Gothenburg, Sweden. Since starting our self-quarantine, I've found myself making photographs in the way that I did when I first picked up a camera as a teenager – a way to search for quiet magic in the everyday.
On the fourth morning of our self-quarantine near Gothenburg, Sweden, my partner and I awoke to a layer of frost blanketing the windows and the world outside, transforming it - in the first minutes of sunrise - into another world.

Allen is taking new precautions during her meetings with patients, including wearing personal protective equipment, because of the coronavirus.
Even in the best of times, low-income minorities can face daunting health and medical issues. Many public health experts now fear a potentially dire situation: If the novel coronavirus becomes an epidemic in the United States, it could exacerbate the vulnerabilities of resource-strapped minorities and cause devastating consequences.
Not only would the disproportionately high rates of disease and illness among those populations make them particularly vulnerable if infected by the virus, but living in dense apartment buildings and using public transportation can also increase the risk of transmission. There is also the issue of distrust, especially among African-Americans, of a medical system with a history of mistreating and exploiting them.

Using my iPhone as a reflection of how one tries to stay connected during these times, I am analyzing how it feels to be in the process of moving from one city to another and in transition during this period. During my time in self-isolation, my thoughts seem to be preoccupied with the notions of mortality and connection, and how uncertain the future will be.

“And in darkness you find colors†is a participatory photo project I’m doing since the beginning of quarantine in Italy (5th March 2020) together with my two sons, Davide, 11, and Giovanni, 8.
They can’t go to school neither see friends nor doing sports or music classes. They are aware that outside the fence of our garden there’s a serious epidemic going around in the world. They have a lot of questions about it and fears and imaginary. To cope with these feelings, which sometimes could be overwhelming for young, we decided to take advantage of the present (both a gift and the today) and create a universe of dreams, fears and magic thanks to the connection with the natural environment of the countryside around us. We carve our imaginary out of complete darkness by enlightening the scene, each night, with different sources of lights.
The silver linings of this confinement is the precious long suspended time with my sons, out of the world, into our own world, where I can enjoy the last colors of their childhood.

I have lived in Mexico for 15 years now, but the thought of not being able to see my parents should the U.S. close the border had been weighing on me all last week. Would I stay in Mexico or make a run for it? I had 24 hours to decide. While taking this short hike (far away to avoid others), a fork in the road reminded me of the difficult decisions we all have to make.
I have never purchased a pair of rubber gloves, since I have always thought a little bit of dirt could strengthen the immune system – this situation is changing my mind, for the moment.

My father started saying the rosary more as the Coronavirus started turning more into a reality. This rosary bead appeared in my house. I had never seen it around before. I asked him why he had started saying the rosary. He replied "to ask the Virgin Mary to watch over us". When the Coronavirus outbreak began, I realised that strange things were popping up in my family home. I started to photograph these things and find the reasons why they were there. The stories behind the objects delve into deeper issues linked with the situation.

M: Because I find it interesting, did you use to play there before it was closed?
- Yes, now it is closed. Everything is closed. But we can go over the fence
M. Looks quite dangerous to do that. Please don´t do that okay?
- Okay but It is sooo boring. Everything is gone or forbidden. We don`t know what to do! There is nothing left to do for us. Tell us what shall we do?

They ask for help to survive to the lockdown that's going on all over Colombia tomorrow, as their work is informal and they earn the day-to-day money that allows them to buy daily food for their families. "We're hungry!" they shouted. "Help us," their placards said. Or, "We are displaced [by violence], support us with any help... God bless you."

My husband sleeps in for the first time in months, after deciding to self-isolate when his nurses had expressed concern about having contact with Covid-19. He is an NHS dentist. In these polaroid collages, combined with journal entries, I document his coming to terms with the severity of the Covid-19 pandemic (and mine) and how it has effected his work and his rising concerns for the safety of his patients, family and loved ones - many of whom are doctors on the frontline of the virus.
It seems like all we have is time, and yet, the pause is painfully heavy and full of uncertainty. My partner and I try to make the most of this experience together in our flat in Bermondsey, London: writng, playing music, photographing each other, sitting in the sun, - but of course, it is not enough to distract us. These polaroids are an instant expression of our coming to terms with the severity of the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been a creative process and outlet for to express ourselves during this significant event in our lives.

Dakar, Senegal (March 22, 2020) - My daughter Amelia lets out her frustration on her second day of home schooling. My daughters know about Ebola, because I covered it in neighboring countries, and the oldest remembers when Senegal had a case as well, but this is a new kind of disruption. I wonder how to talk to them about it, and though I long for their lives to return to normal, I also worry that nothing systematic will change once this is over - that the world for them will be one set of disasters after another, because my generation did not do enough to mitigate climate change and inequality.

He's luckier than most New Yorkers in that he has a backyard where he can let off steam, but the situation is still bothering him.

After coming back home to Uganda from a trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo, as the first cases of COVID 19 got confirmed, I decided to self-isolate by the Nile river in the eastern part of the country. This was mostly to check I was fine before coming back to the capital city of Kampala and getting back to work, as it would've been dangerous for everyone around me if I hadn't. It was a small piece of paradise, the calm before the storm that is reaching us now.
