This series of twenty paintings recreates the everyday scenes in her accommodation back in the UK, during the artists time in self-quarantine from COVID-19. During that time, she had to learn to cope with the loneliness that resulted from her experience and build a deeper bond with her surroundings. She started to observe the little details that she had overlooked before, seeking and appreciating the beauty in them.
