During lockdown, the world retreated behind closed doors, and our windows became the only connection to the lives around us. Looking out, we realized apartment buildings weren't so different from an Instagram grid, both offering glimpses into the lives of strangers.
So we turned Instagram into a virtual apartment building, where every post became a window into a digital neighbour's life. A place where strangers could connect, scroll, and sonder.
