Mauritius was the land of rainbows. In almost every direction we turned there was a rainbow to be seen. It truly made us feel like we were living in a magical, fairytale land. This one in particular stood out. A rainbow was beaming over the mountains and perfectly landing on this squiggly little palm tree that seemed as if it was trying its hardest to stand out above the jungle.
Edition: 1/1
A Collection by Chelsea Mealo and Brayden Hall
1000 Miles Out is a collection of 37 1/1 images based on the shared experience of getting stuck abroad on the tiny island of Mauritius for 6 months by these two artists. A job had brought them to Mauritius early March 2020. Despite expressing concern about traveling in light of developing travel restrictions, the client urged them to go. It took three days to travel around the world from New York to the middle of the Indian Ocean. The day after arriving, they were informed that the island would be closing its airport, the only way on and off the island, for 10 days. Periodically, this 10 days turned to a month, two months and so on resulting in an unexpected six-month stay. Initially, the island was incredibly strict with a police-enforced lockdown. Trapped abroad tested the two both financially and mentally. However, the life-changing experience had a bittersweet ending as the two developed deep friendships and love for the island.
