'Dying To Feel Alive' is a phrase that is relevant to our extensive time in lockdown (especially here in Melbourne), but also applies to a larger problem in our society where we often write off older people and see them as a burden on our community.
The use of seperate canvases symbolises the compartmentalising of our lives whilst the corrugated iron fence keeps out the unwanted (or keeps the fun stuff for the privileged few?).
A floating man can also be seen in the sky, or is it just in the old mans imagination?
This piece is made up of four seperate canvases that are securely joined together to hang as one piece (see photos for reference).
