Neon Dreamscape (2025) is a digital pixel artwork that imagines a world set in the future and creates a speculative challenge to the viewer to question what we will have in the future. The landscape in this work has been transformed by the neon lights from the flying objects and, most notably, the skyscraper in…

Whisper in the Wind (2024) is a sculpture made from discarded metal scraps which, incidentally, through this medium, revive and transform the material, thus making it a sustainable work. A much more organic form has been created using a usually industrial and artificial material that would have gone to waste or a landfill. Thus, it…

These three works by Tristan Omar Mohamed, which are showcased in our publication (solitude: myself, solitude: angels and demons, solitude prayer) [all 2024 works], are black and white monochrome film photographs. The works use double exposure in which the artist successfully transformed this solitude moment (as suggested by the title) into a series in which…

Drowsing (2020) portrays solitude as a hunched figure with a face turned around, appearing as though it is holding the weight of isolation psychologically and physically. In particular, the inversion of the head disrupts the figure, which seems to show its understanding and self-awareness of its loneliness as it looks upon itself- only. The texture…

She Considers a Field (2024) is a personal work as Barden relates to the woman depicted in the artwork- where the woman is standing at the start of a new season balancing art, family, and faith together. The composition seems to have a triangular structure that guides the viewer from the top to the woman,…

Whispers of a Place No Longer Ours (2024) has impressively captured the perception that a place known from our childhood has become blurred once returning. It is connected to us, yet also feels as though there is no connection. Within the solitude of understanding this place – the atmosphere of it has captured the memories…

Waiting Table (2024) takes a mundane object – the chess table with four chairs which are symmetrical and rigid against the field that is open and uneven. This then creates a purpose for the furniture to contrast with this environment and surrounding creating and potentially reinforcing a feel of solitude within this space- or perhaps…

The series of works that Prost is showcasing in this publication have stripped the language to its simplest form, as single words or just letters, as in the case of Identity. In Rose, the first letter and the third letter have been swapped, changing the word to Sores. The jagged sides of the two rose…

Brooklyn Branch (2024) presents two trash bins together in front of a wall with two iron bar windows that frame the two bins together and draw the viewer towards them. From the bin on the right, there seems to be a tree branch coming out, with some surviving cherry blossoms still clinging onto the dead…

untitled (parts of me) is a monochromatic photograph that captures the subject cutting their nails. Of gravitational pull, the quiet, solitary activity, centres the composition. With the face and hands utterly concealed, man’s identity remains unknown. This anonymity reminds us that his private, mundane routine is an universal experience that we all share. untitled (lunch)…
