Welcome to “Solitude’s Playground,” an evocative photography exhibit that invites you to traverse the landscapes of human isolation during the unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Inspired by the surreal worlds crafted by Giorgio de Chirico and utilizing wooden blocks and children’s toys as symbolic conduits, this collection serves as a visual testament to the intricate dance between imagination and solitude.
Wooden blocks, often reminiscent of childhood innocence, take on a dual role—representing the tangible isolation of the physical world and becoming building blocks for the creation of imaginary landscapes. Children’s toys, with their inherent sense of nostalgia, serve as vessels for emotional exploration, mirroring the varied states of the human psyche during a time of profound uncertainty.
