Photo, Coburg North

These are two images of the house being built on the block behind us. Due to us being home all of the time, we have been able to see the slow progress of the house being built. I was looking at this house being built so often, to the point where it wasn’t until two months later that I actually noticed just how much progress had been made. To me, these photos signify the daily repetition of our lives during the pandemic, especially during the lockdown periods.

The picture showing the least amount of progress was taken on August 29, 2020 and the one showing more progress was taken on October 30, 2020.
