Quarantine Project: 300+ respond to Instagram call for isolation self-portraits
Eleonora Sabet, a freelance photographer from Milan residing in Jordan, launched Quarantine Project on Instagram, inviting people to submit self-portraits and handwritten thoughts during lockdown. The project evolved from her own daily self-portraits into a collective diary of fear, solitude, and hope. Over 300 submissions have been received, with no deadline set. Submissions are now being collected on her website rather than Instagram. Sabet aims to foster connection and reduce isolation by sharing shared experiences.
