This series of images explores the impact of the coronavirus on people especially in Melbourne, Australia and is meant to be viewed as a time series of images. March: and the first wave and we go into lockdown and isolation. June: the virus is largely gone and we start to relax as we cautiously reopen. July: the virus escapes from quarantine hotels and we enter the second wave with a new lockdown and a curfew, one of the toughest restrictions in the world. Mental illness cases soar with the isolation. November: ELIMINATION and we are back to near normal until a vaccine arrives.
