“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.”

– Henry David Thoreau, Walden

“Coronavirus has changed EVERYONES way of life. But for my peers and I it’s been a struggle to occupy time at home. Whether it’s reading, playing video games, music, or drinking we are adapting and holding into our newfound comfort, acknowledging our life in this pandemic. I have created these images as a series to capture the larger theme of what a small group of people around me are turning to during this pandemic.”

– Nathan Smail
