Loco Down: Home alone with a person, I do not know
I was locked with a person I do not know.
That is something that I had never done in my life.
I lived in a large family of seven, and it was hard to find myself in our house alone, and If I did, I was busy doing things I felt were important.
What does it truly mean to be alone, by myself? I had no clue, I wondered how people Could exist without anyone around. What’s the fun in that?
Then something that no one expected in the country happened, lockdown.
I had no choice but to work by myself. Talking to everyone else through calls and no face-to-face interactions.
I felt like I could adapt to this, but as time went by, It was getting harder. I felt like I was going crazy. I wanted to get out, to be free, to hug and touch the people I love but I was worried for their safety.
I continued to struggle till I decided to face the fact that I do not know how to be with myself. My life had been shaped by external experiences and zero experiences from within.
Lockdown has revealed an animal within us that we might not know existed. Those that have felt the effects are ourselves and those close to us.
The portraits speak to the feeling and experiences that I and some of the people in the world have felt and had while in Lockdown dubbed (Loco Down).
