These Four Walls Are Closing In by Mark Griffiths

Issue 134

“There is no darkness like that of a confined space.”

- Lauren DeStefano, Author.

The following images are a visual metaphor for the feeling of being isolated and the apprehension of the unknown during the ongoing enforced lockdown currently in operation.

The pictures are a representation of my mental and physical wellbeing from being isolated or confined to a space for a prolonged period and convey my thoughts and feelings towards an uncertain future during the corona virus pandemic.

Making this work allows me to express my inner anguish and worries about the situation we are facing and provides me with a therapeutic sense of purpose whilst confined within the four walls of my one bedroom flat. 

Mark Griffiths lives and works in Cardiff, Wales, UK.
