CoVision: A Pandemic From The Eyes Of Our Children.

I set out to document children as they shelter in place during Covid-19 stay at home orders. Each child was photographed safely doing the activity of their choice. In addition to the portraits each child wrote a note to me expressing how the virus makes them feel.
