Thiago covering his face during a live class online on Zoom as he continues his homeschool during the fifth week of his school closure due to the coronavirus pandemic at a temporary home in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico on April 15, 2020. Photographer Benedicte Desrus says, "With his school closed, my son is experiencing big changes to his routine. At such a young age, it's difficult for him to focus and sit behind a computer during a 40 minute long online class. He misses face-to-face teaching and his friends. Thiago, 3-years-old, is the son of the photographer. He was documented as part of a project titled When I grow up about a child growing up on quarantine, away from other children and from the outside world, during the coronavirus pandemic.
