"I've become extra conscious about my physical ity to others during this pandemic, but that's also made intimacy within social circles more difficult. Capturing my close friends (from far left) Chloe, Bridgitt, Jessica and Nina individually at ease or as they go about their every day is my way of connecting with them. Meanwhile stitching together solo shots of them caught in the same an usually comforting act of having a meal — they're all acquai gathering of friends — reflects the sense of fragmentation I can't help but feel even with communal spaces opening up. You can say that juxtaposing the collage with the portraits reflects my attempt at reconciling with the shifting regulations that govern our dearest relationships during this period." - Kimberly Kiong
