Story & Message:

Agatha glanced over the fence at the gathering clouds. She looked unfazed as if half-expecting the rain. The rest were removing the clothes from the clotheslines, running circles around her. Steadied by the weight of the world, Agatha exuded calm in such moments of agitation. She seemed almost royal, standing there, tall and composed. She was leading them into battle, into certain victory against this godforsaken storm. “What would they do without me?” she thought.

From my project “Paper Lords”

The situation the whole world was in forced us to look at many things from a new perspective. The experience was painful but valuable. But you can only get a gain from your pain if you pause and take time to reflect on your actions, feelings, and thoughts. This project is a tribute to the lockdown wisdom, that each of us faced in a unique way.

We tried to imagine what the kids would do if they were locked down on their own in a situation similar to a pandemic version of "the Lord of the Flies" story. No parents, no rules, but not too much freedom either. So in our narrative, the kids make themselves the kings and queens of their lockdown home kingdom using paper and toys to create their symbols of power. Those symbols are fragile, they don't last long and are easily broken. But isn't it true for anything in life? Any habits, ways, things we get so much used to can disappear in a second.
