Story & Message:
The garden, as small as it was, was where Lisa had spent most of her days. She knew every blade of grass by now as if she were a blade of grass herself. Lisa went on treasure hunts, looking for anything new that could have fallen, resurfaced, or appeared out of thin air. She didn’t care for the fancy flowers – she looked for snails, white feathers they could put in their hairs, or sturdy pieces of wood she could reuse. When marching as she did now through the garden, she looked invincible, like a goddess of nature, a possessor of ancient wisdom.
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.
