19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Lockdown

When we were having a lockdown due to Covid-19 in spring 2020, most adults improvised a home office at their kitchen table. As they were mainly sitting inside, the children were still allowed to play outside. That is when I noticed the contrast that was happening: the stillness of life inside the homes and the activity of the children on the street. On this photo you see our neighbour-girl playing, while our other neighbour is sitting in front of her laptop, working.
