Aggie is a poet, writer and researcher, often writing about social issues such as the narrative surrounding care leavers or women’s issues.

Aggie also has a love for nature, dance, movement and singing.

I chose these photos to represent my 2020 experience, as they have been taken throughout the pandemic.

The first image represents a more cushioned way of life. A life lived with a lens. The middle photo conveys being fed up, the mental health struggles, the boredom, the stagnating feeling.

The last image represents clarity; the harsh reality; the more exposed life, but also the beauty of what really is. 

The difference in editing and the different quality images conveys to me the internal waves of emotion, feeling and depth which have been experienced throughout the pandemic.
