“Post-Normal” is a collaborative document of Long-Covid, “an emerging phenomenon which is not yet fully understood” (Census 2022).

The project has was created in collaboration with my Mam, Bernie, photographing the scenes that symbolise the new life experiences of people like her.

At the time of photographing, my Mam was a sufferer of long-COVID, and in a transitional stage of their life, following several diagnoses of previously elusive underlying illnesses, owing to exacerbation of symptoms after contracting COVID-19.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been over 100 million cases of infection, with over 2 million associated deaths.

Drawing from Consensus Data, over 1.1 Million people reported adverse effects to their day-to-day activities as a result of long Covid, a staggering 67% of the total self-reporting individuals. Of that number, a further 19% stated that their day-to-day lives had been “limited a lot”.

1.7 Million People are living with Long-Covid; suggested by self-reporting as of 5th March 2022.
