Imagining a Vacation

Before dawn

Our lives have recently become blocked from the possibilities of movement, communication and touch that existed until recently.

The limitations imposed on us in the wake of the unbridled epidemic are reflected in this series of works in the concept of vacation, and in the various representations of what vacation is in such times.

The dream of a vacation becomes more coveted when it is impossible to fulfill, and the imagination turns the whole closure experience into an escapist-style.

A secret night party in the woods, a couple sunbathing on the porch of their home, a sea chair imprisoned behind bars, are just a few of the oddities that are created when the routine of life goes awry. The spirit wants to glide to distant spaces even if the body is limited to a radius of 500 meters.
