BARE ISOLATION
2020
This project is focused on life during lockdown due to Covid19. The concept emerges from my own dissatisfaction during isolation through the constant feelings and thoughts of becoming a failure due to lack of motivation and inspiration. I found myself feeling like I could never achieve what I want to in life and feeling like I was stuck in one place, never advancing to the next level. I found it hard studying from home without the face to face support from my peers and teachers. In the first semester of 2020 I could not find the inspiration I desperately needed to be able to produce something that I was proud of. I realised that being in lockdown and feeling this way could be something that many people could relate to and I started to think about how I could communicate that through design. Something that I had been thinking about a lot was what life was and would have been if not for Covid19 and felt that the virus had really stripped away the life we once knew to the bare bones of it. This idea led me to introduce notions of transparency into my previous work that I had once thought were not inspirational. To further communicate the idea of being in lockdown and the mental strain that puts on us I have also decided to add text to the final images.
