As Shanghai has been locked down I have started to photograph friends of mine and other people that I have never met, remotely using a video-call. The absurdity of this project is that we all live in the same city, Shanghai and yet we are not able to meet in real life because of the harsh lockdown that Shanghai is undergoing.

I have asked to all my subject to share their thoughts written in a paper or a piece of their diary, here some part of the portfolio published on Liberation
