Shreyas Iyengar - Tough Times (2021)

The pandemic was an opportunity for me to have a front row seat to observe and be inspired by the full spectrum of human emotions, ranging from despair and suffering to brief spells of hope and positivity. Unfortunately the brunt of this disaster was borne by those less fortunate than ourselves, and we were mainly tough times adjacent. But the pandemic really showed us the dichotomy within human existence, whether it applies to the inevitable ups and downs, opportunistic / altruistic reactions of the people affected and much more. Tough Times is basically my way of documenting this time from the POV of an ( largely unaffected but still emotionally tuned in ) observer and realizing that tough times don't last, but they do keep coming back
