2020.
Fear and survival instinct kicked in propelling the masses to panic buy and stock up on these now essential items.
Amidst the chaos some opportunist took advantage of the situation and monopolised the most sought after items like PPE, sanitiser and toilet roll.
I shot these images in the style of the 17th Century Dutch still life paintings 'Vanitas' to symbolise the pleasures of the world in the year 2020 and as a reminder that death is inevitable.
