Containment
For months and months we have been confined. We are restrained behind windows, behind walls, behind masks. We are cut off from our friends, our families, our daily freedoms. Yet many people have also discovered new opportunities to deepen relationships and new gratitude for what they have.
This body of work—created very much in the moment—is both raw and powerful, conveying the artist’s day-to-day experience. Some pieces are angst-filled, claustrophobic assemblages of faces and bodies pressed tight in boxes. Others showcase pairs of people or whole families gathered together. Still others incorporate ancient olivewood and stream-smoothed stones, emblematic of man’s enduring nature.
