“These are really pieces of a normal summer. I returned home, took photos every time I saw this same pink sky, went to a few cute coffee shops and a nice exhibition, and celebrated my mom’s birthday with her. By ‘normal’ I mean this virus does not really influence me much. But it does for many people, and these many people are probably the same persons as I am. And they are supposed to go through a ‘normal summer.’ They are not just numbers. They go back home, celebrate birthdays, and are accustomed to taking photos when they see something cute. I hope this summer remembers these people always.”
