Lexi Madak, 19, is a sophomore at Saginaw Valley State University. Due to the coronavirus, her time spent on campus has come to an end. She has temporarily moved back into her parents house in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Similar to others, the coronavirus has affected her personal, school and work life.
For this Feature Photo Story Exercise, I decided to watch and photograph my sister, Lexi Madak. My goal was to demonstrate her new “normal” everyday life. For someone who was constantly out and about, this is a big adjustment. Lexi’s new life consists of sleeping, eating, doing homework and scrolling through social media. I am very happy with these candid moments because I am able to tell a story through photography.
All photos were taken on Tuesday, March 24, in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
