During the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, I was forced to stay at home for a long time. The feeling of being confined in a small space and the monotonous passing of time became suffocating. As people began to maintain social distance, I wanted to escape my home, break the distance, and connect with people in reality.

I started to explore the mostly unknown private spaces of strangers. While most private spaces were homes, some individuals chose to go somewhere else, away from people, where they would not be disturbed. We chatted and did everyday things together, and they lent me their clothes and accessories so I could experience what it was like to 'be them'. There was a tacit understanding between my subjects and me - "When I give you a sense of security, you need to keep me safe." This kind of private connection involved exchanging so much personal information that we started to 'become' each other.
