“Taped Off" is a series of photographs of deserted playgrounds in suburbs taken during the shelter in place lockdown in Sacramento. While still adhering to the shelter in place protocol, I visited over 60 playgrounds near my home. Photographed at times where families, children, and residents in the community would normally come to gather and play, these popular playgrounds were left empty while a thin yellow tape served as a barrier and a caution of an invisible threat. During the COVID-19 pandemic, even a playground often associated with fun and innocence has been replaced by concern and fear.
