Léa Mariella - Lockdown Diary

“I originally started this photographic series as a way to document my partner and I's routine in our flat during lockdown, focusing on everyday intimate moments, visually recording the affection I feel for him. As lockdown restrictions got eased, I redirected my camera towards nature, appreciating the ability to be out again while enjoying the beauty and uniqueness of its design. The more I took photographs, the more I started noticing a visual link between my original experience of indoor documentation of lockdown, and my most recent outdoor exploration. More precisely, the observable association between my partner and surrounding nature became a photographic series in itself. Through a visual pairing of the physiological similarities between the human body and local flora, I focus on conveying the sense of serenity I feel when surrounded by both nature and my partner.”
