Caption

This image depicts the day I was able to reunite with my Grandma after a year of isolation due to the pandemic. When coronavirus cases started rising within the UK in March 2020, my families dominant concern was my Grandma and her safety, suffering with COPD she was categorised as 'high risked' and told to isolate at home, not even being able to do her own shopping or go for a walk. As the year progressed not only did we collectively worry about my grandma contracting the virus, but the physical and mental toll of her isolating alone was also a concern. The moment I was finally able to see her was so special for the both of us, even though we remained physically distanced we still connected through tea, conversation and the taking of this image.
