This set of photographs explores our perpetual state of dissonance, post-pandemic.

 

The first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced immense social isolation, crises of identities, and shifts in the way we went about our daily activities. Since early 2023, we have ‘reopened’ fully and ‘resumed” our lives. These photographs attempt to portray our seeming exit from that period of dissonance. Amidst the jarring composition, colours, and lines, central to these photographs are ‘anchors’—such as the shadow of a man, or a typical street activity. The anchors represent our resumed daily activities, and their mundanity. The jarring disarray within the photographs suggests a deeper reality: we are, latently, experiencing the greatest dissonance yet—that we now go about our activities as though forgetting that dissonant days were a recent past.
