Story & Message:
You just never knew with Tim. He was quiet, but you had the sense that he knew more than he was letting on. The fantasy games he played ceaselessly seemed like a simple pastime. One only had to look closely to see that they were elaborate renditions of complex human dynamics he picked up on the street, at home, or at the local grocery store. The renderings gave him power, making him feel as if he was a director on a movie set capable of altering the stories unfolding around him.
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.
