THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT is a sequel to my previous book COCOON, within this project I explore the different thoughts during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic and provide insight into the different experiences around the world.

Because of the division and discussions that arose during the pandemic, I became interested in how the individual actually experienced it. Is it true what we are being told? Is Bill Gates trying to inject us with microchips? On the opposite side, there are also people who are terribly afraid of it, who haven’t seen anybody or gone outside for weeks or sometimes even months.

Within this project, I bring together 80 personal perspectives from across the globe. Their feelings, experiences, or thoughts tell their unvarnished opinions and reveal their deepest and sometimes pent-up feelings.

I combined their stories with my photography by analyzing the text looking for emotions, or elements that stand out to me. Based on what I feel, I created an image that contains the essence of the text. And thus ultimately creating a triangular relationship between image, text and the feeling, making them reinforce each other.
