Artwork Description

Of fear, loneliness and desperation.

0.0 x 0.0

This is a work belonging to a series about Covid-19. Its composition captures what this world is going through : loneliness, separation, fear, isolation. It presents a man lost with the surrealistic truth of the pandemic and questions that arise hence about existence in the new world, brought as a consequence of the pandemic. It points to "the pure, true loneliness and despair”, sadness and disenchantment that surround us despite what mankind has accomplished so far. The curled up man is tagged on a concrete wall. He seems to be crushed under the weight of the slabs of concrete upon which he has been represented and broken by the panels arrangement that evoke equally the portioning of his reality. He is naked, alluding to his fragility despite all the progress and achievements he has accomplished. Holding his head in act of protection … is he thinking? Is he regretting? Will there be a change to come?
