Photography
'Lock down' is a photographic based project that tells the story of our world during these times of isolation.
This series was directly inspired by the world on pause, moving to the pace of isolation and fear.
Through black and white images, the viewer is taken on a primitive and powerful journey in between domestic objects, daily rituals and symbols.
Traveling through surreal scenes, we are invited to enter and create our own version of the lock-down, letting anxieties and despair flow through the images.
It was important for me to freeze on paper this universal experience as a part of our path of life and history. The emotions are mixed and the moody atmosphere is amplified by the shades of grey and shadows.
I have always been fascinated by human emotions and their impact on one's behaviours. While creating these photographs, I came closer to understanding the human essence, and its complexity.
All images are shot in analogue and printed in the darkroom, following the original crafts and processes of photography.
