Surrealism: Creativity during quarantine
About the Writers
Jaxi Cohen, Photographer
Jaxi only got serious about photography a few years ago, but has been taking pictures since she was little, when she used a camera as a deflection technique against conversation at family and friend gatherings. Nowadays, Jaxi uses photography as a creative outlet, and she fills her free time with drawing, taking photos, and drinking iced tea.
