Over the past year, our lives have been mediated by lenses more than ever before. Working and learning from home has shifted our sense of time and offered us new views into others’ homes.
We see politicians, celebrities, and members of the public in their environments through smartphone and laptop cameras on the news. These lenses have an uncanny way of making everything look the same. We see people flanked by bookshelves, artwork, kitchen cabinets. If we’re lucky, we see a window that opens these spaces up.
