Sani/Nation: The Surreal Grief and Loneliness of Quarantine

"I've never before included so much practice and rehearsal time for a series' images," Christine Ren tells us. We've featured her work many times on this site, and it's always dazzling. "Justin and I spent at least 2-3 sessions of practice shooting at different times of day and with different lighting setups before we layered in sets, props and I brought Sammy in for her and me to rehearse together.

All of that incremental prep I think also really shows in the final shots. " The collaboration between Sammy, Christine, and Justin is a result of quarantine. When you're inside, you tend to get creative for many reasons. And arguably, we're in a golden age of creativity right now. At least Christine's series, Sani/Nation, is big evidence of that. .
