During the unexpected stillness of Italy’s total lockdown due to the outbreak of Covid-19, “Shuttered in” is a photo essay that captures moments inside the heart of Italy before, during, and briefly after the entire country was put on pause. Join me on my journey through an unprecedented travel experience through the photos and stories I gathered along the way.
Bleak, Eerie, heartbreaking, anxious, isolated; but at the same time, creative, heartwarming, supportive, free, and hopeful. Shuttered in offers a creative view into the shut in life during a three month total lockdown that left me trapped in Italy, with no way to leave, and nothing but the unknown in front of me.
