‘Panes’ elevates the conceptual complexity of ‘Frame’ and ‘Views’ with more windows and more colors. During the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, as we learned to shift our social and work lives from IRL to virtual, new types of relationships arose. This piece attempts to capture the new variation and diversity of digital relationships enabled by video calls, and recurring phone chats, new group texts and social media groups.
ABOUT THE SERIES
Windows is a series about the coronavirus pandemic. The theme of this series is mediated contact — through the windows we saw each other in every day, and across the spaces we were required to keep between one another. These pieces aim to capture the sense of disconnection between days, experiences, and people, all see through colorful rectangles. The series doesn’t explore the impact of forced separation, but instead looks at how this space was kept: the self-imposed separation is represented by not using tape or masking fluid for these works. However, even though the rectangles don't touch, they still influence one another: colors appear across multiple rectangles, visualizing shared experiences and emotions.
