The World is experiencing a moment of stand-still during the events of Covid-19 pandemic. Surely it is affecting each one of us in many different ways. To some this means fear and uncertainty about the future, economic difficulties, to others \u2013 inspiration and time to create. This period brings ideas into surface, raises questions and debates about our healthcare and economic systems, ecological, political and social issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a series of posts featuring creative expressions made during Covid-19 pandemic, or previous works that are particularly relevant during these times of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we are share a performance piece by Smiha Kapoor<\/a>, Indian artist, currently based in Singapore, where she is studying fine arts in Lasalle College Of the Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I employ the use of an installation performance ritual to comment on the nature of this destruction and disconnect, and how it has in-turn played a role in paradoxically destroying the human life itself. The piece highlights the horrors of the Covid-19 pandemic, instigated by an imbalance in the ecosystem by us humans. The work starts by exploring the suffocation and the helplessness caused due to the quarantine and comments further on the notions of \u2018home\u2019 and human existence. Using the concept of \u2018paradox\u2019 between life and death, strength and vulnerability, connection and disconnection, the work is intended to awaken a deeper awareness into our own actions and rekindle our moral sense of responsibility towards a conscious and more compassionate life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
