Acacia Cliffs

In early 2020, I have taken photos of my apartment, Acacia Cliffs, located in Austin, Texas. Since COVID-19 has spread, people were told to stay in their home. I have wondered how everyday people live in this unique time and how a small community has been affected by the pandemic. While I was photographing Acacia Cliffs, I started to see things that I have never seen before the pandemic. And I also met people that I never got to talk before. Here are some moments of us in this difficult time. Acacia Cliffs, which is rated 3.1 star on Google, is a warm home to some people and a cold shelter for others. People from different places and countries put down their roots here. It doesn’t matter if they like or dislike each other. It doesn’t matter if they are from a gang or a wealthy place. They live in this apartment together. The roots tangle each other and slowly become one tree. In the morning, deers and rabbits eat the grass around it; at night, squirrels climb on-top of the tree and fall asleep like it’s their own home. The tree makes a small world.
