Artist Erika Dufour photographed these still lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are an ode to the “shelter-in-place” life reflecting on how our perception of time has slowed down significantly and has forced us to observe everyday life and life's mini events to have a more momentous meaning.
 
The Sustenance Series exemplifies the hardships of acquiring food during this time; what once was taken for granted has turned into a harrowing episode. Now having these simple staples in supply at home feels like there is safety for at least a short period of time.
