Lockdown

collages

Lockdown gave a hard time to all of us. It became so overwhelming sometimes that we couldn’t even name all the feelings we experienced at once.

I chose the seven main feelings I have felt during those months and I visualised them using the collaging technique.

Problem:

The original plan was to use my own photos I take on the streets for the collages to improve my photography skills. However, the lockdown wasn’t lifted at the time I was working on this project. Therefore, I had to find a new source of pictures.

Solution:

I set up as mall photo studio in my room and I started to search for objects in my home which represent the feelings I am working with. It gave me a fresh perspective on how I looked at my belongings, especially after being locked in for such a long time.

Collages:

Exhausted

Claustrophobic

Hopeless

Frustrated

Separated

Nostalgic
