Last August, I went home for the first time since the pandemic began. Three years ago was the last time I visited. It was incredibly difficult to feel so far and not have the ability to see my family and friends. When I went back I ended up photographing many parts of it that I never photographed before as if to remind me of what it all looks and feels like if I ever am unable to go back again. This is a fennel plant that grows wildly around the neighborhoods I grew up around.
