This video essay is a quiet walk through Amsterdam during the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic when a city defined by movement was held in stillness.

Shot entirely on a phone and shaped in isolation, the film is an act of observation rather than commentary. Wide compositions explore space during social distancing, while a choir fills the silence where crowds once were.

Alongside the film I shot a series of 35mm stills to support the project, which I made as a personal, cathartic exercise in collaboration with Radical Media. The work was picked up by local news outlets and Shots Magazine.
