I started shielding at home on 10 March 2020 and continued until two weeks after my second vaccine, on 17 May 2021. After more than a year in lockdown, and as we finally seem to be approaching the end of the tunnel, I wanted to create a space, a ‘museum’ of sorts, in which I could capture, curate and preserve those objects, spaces and rituals that defined my experience of this period; the things that helped me get through this.
