This series of photographs documents Alex, a preteen boy and his journey through a pivotal adolescent year during Covid. This past year has been a challenging one, especially for preteen and teenage boys and girls. As suddenly as the pandemic started it was also the end of all social and sports activities. School moved online, and kids weren’t allowed to see friends and family members. This isolation in conjunction with national catastrophes such as the events surrounding George Floyd and our volatile political issues have caused feelings of hopelessness, anger, fear, confusion and isolation within our youth. These photographs documents Alex’s journey through this past year full of insecurity and loneliness while he navigates his personal growth into an adolescent.
