Together Apart-(E)

Vanessa Almacen spends most of her time as a stay-at-home mother to four kids. During her spare time، she likes taking photos and making films. She recently made photo essay contributions to the Gulf Times Community and collaborates with Filipino filmmakers in Doha. “I like looking at things up close using a macro lens. I think a lot of things are overlooked when we do not look close enough. During this pandemic، the importance of hand washing has been emphasized. We may feel anxious and fearful when we think about why we must constantly do this – but if we pause and take a closer look، we can focus on the cheerful result of hand washing: bubbles. Up close، their beauty is charming. You can always find beauty in the chaos.”
