CONTEMPLATION CAPTURES 2020'S ETHEREAL DANCE BETWEEN SHADOWS AND LIGHT, WHERE THE YOUTH STOOD POISED AT LIFE'S THRESHOLD, ONLY TO FIND THE MUSIC PAUSED. DIVE INTO ITS DEPTHS AND TOUCH THE SOUL OF A POIGNANT ERA.

In the year 2020, following the suffocating grip of the first lockdown, we briefly tasted the nectar of freedom once again. We journeyed to Spain – a sojourn not just of place but of soul, to witness, explore, and heal.

CONTEMPLATION is more than a piece of art. It is a silent ode to the youth of that era – the teenagers and young adults who were caught in the stormy crosswinds of global upheaval. For them, this period wasn't just challenging; for some, it was insurmountably devastating. They stood at the threshold of life's grand ballroom, ready to dance, to love, to discover, only to be told the music had stopped. The resilience we expect of age hadn’t yet been woven into their spirits. Yet, when the world opened its doors in July 2020, even if just a crack, the experience was nothing short of ethereal. It was a moment in time, surreal and unparalleled, filled with play, introspection, adventure, and above all, contemplation.

CONTEMPLATION captures this dichotomy of emotion. It oscillates between shadows and luminescence, evoking an otherworldly, meditative trance. Within its depths, you'll find a blend of the mystique and the tangible, the agony and the ecstasy. Dive into its layers and perhaps, just perhaps, you'll touch the soul of that poignant time.
