Description

In the spring of 2020, during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Carol, seeking refuge from the coast's mold and humidity, embarked on a desperate journey to the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina. Driven by trauma and a yearning for fresh air, she navigated a surreal and dangerous landscape marked by fear, isolation, and the absurdity of a world grappling with a pandemic. Facing ever-changing restrictions and a constant sense of unease, Carol's quest for a safe haven soon revealed the harsh realities of life in the mountains, a far cry from the idyllic escape she envisioned.
