COVID diaries: quotidian snapshots of life during the pandemic

Pages 575-581 | Published online: 10 Mar 2022
 

Abstract

Starting on March 16, 2020, I began keeping a personal written and visual record of my experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The record is in the form of visual and written journal entries posted online through my personal, private Instagram and Facebook pages. The project started simply as a way for me to document the quickly changing facets of day-to-day life during the pandemic but slowly evolved into a place to punctuate time by sharing trials, tribulations, and rituals surrounding a new normal. This essay represents diary excerpts from the first 74 days of social distancing, for the COVID-19 pandemic, in Los Angles under California’s Safer at Home order.
