Through the Covid-19 lockdown, many people struggled with their mental health and overall wellness. It took a long time for some to relearn how to connect with life in a happy way, and to recover from the isolation from others. In my image, I show my friend smiling in a crowd of dogs. So many animals were adopted during lockdown as they were a new friend and company in an empty home. My photo captures the reconnection of happiness, which I hope is apparent through my friend's smile.
