The Great Indoors

Fall 2021 Digital Imaging
This project was inspired by Los Angeles–based travel photographer Erin Sullivan.


After the first lockdown phase of COVID in 2020, Erin’s travel plans were canceled. She channeled her curiosity for nature into creativity—using her pantry, laundry, and other household items.

Pancakes, onions, gelatin, and other edibles helped her recreate the wonder of outdoor adventures, and she also used aluminum foil to make a shimmering lake and tie-dye sheets to evoke an ice cave. She then photographed her scenes to make it look like they were actually captured out in the wild.
