Underwater Photos That Convey the Emotional Pain of COVID Quarantines
“Sani/nation” is a new project by underwater performer and director Christine Ren (AKA The Underwater Woman). It’s a series of underwater portraits that aim to convey the emotional pain brought on this year by COVID-19 quarantines around the world.
The photos in the project were captured by photographer Justin Lutsky.
“The series’ images speak both to the pain of physical distancing as well as what we continue to hold onto and hope for: shared space, support, togetherness, connection, and loving touch,” Ren says.
Here’s a short behind-the-scenes video that offers a look at how this project was done:
