DIRT, DESIRE, DARKNESS & DESPAIR

A Reflection on Isolation and Emotional Upheaval in the Time of Covid

From hardship and loss to the threat of terrifying illness and even death, we have all been held in the grip of fear for more than an entire year. Political turmoil, civil unrest and a relentless pandemic created the perfect storm to rip apart the emotional foundations we all thought we had.

Yet for all of these looming horrors, perhaps the most insidious of them all has been the pervasive sense of nothingness: Isolation, loneliness, the inability to socialize or even safely take care of family members or friends in need. Just non-stop time alone — and for many, the worst kind: idle time. All while staring at the same four walls. Nowhere to go, no one to see and nothing to do. It is in the depths of this darkness that the mind can inflict its own special horrors upon itself. From the unbearable longing to touch another, to utter despair and the fear that comes with it. This is the pendulum swing of emotions that this photographic essay seeks to explore.
