Liberty City, Reborn
New York City in 2020, was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though it is not the ground zero of the pandemic, the damage and the casualties were outnumbering every city in world. The virus was destroying the economy, the people, the order of the society.
When I escaped from NYC during summer 2020, the city was already pretty fucked. Magically, when I returned to New York in summer 2021, the city was just as lively as it was before the pandemic, if not more. The vaccines did help control the virus by a lot, but it is almost confusing to see that this city’s recovered from fear in such a short period of time.
The one and only goal of this series is to display the true condition of New York in summer 2021, reborn from the ashes.
Yet the city’s still going to face numerous upcoming challenges until the end of the global pandemic.
