Dont Go Back To Sleep
Don't Go Back To Sleep

A year after the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a global pandemic, we remember all the time we lost and the periods of reflection we had. "Don’t Go Back to Sleep" is a reflection of the time spent in the early lockdown period. All pictures were taken inside homes looking out of windows during the Lockdown from March - June. The piece is narrated and co-created by Nadav Kander, who reads a quote from Rumi which we believe resonates with the place we are in as a society now. Through the pandemic, U.S. Election and environmental crisis, the message is simple: as we begin to find a place in our new normal, don’t go back to sleep on the issues we have yet to resolve.
