Silent Seasons

Silent Seasons is about the kind of depression that artists
often go through but don’t always have the space or words to talk about.
During the pandemic, many of us found ourselves stuck in a quiet,
uncomfortable space, feeling like we couldn’t even say how we were truly feeling.
Exhibits were canceled, our mental health was tested, and isolation took a toll on us.
The lack of community, resources, and gatherings made it even harder to find our footing.

For artists, it wasn’t just missing out on opportunities —
it was a sudden and painful disconnection from
everything that fuels us creatively. The shutdowns didn’t just take away
the ability to make art, but they took away the very
support systems we needed to survive emotionally.
And during all of this, there was the added weight of feeling like
we couldn’t talk about it. We were expected to keep pushing through,
to keep up appearances, but the reality was that many of us were
struggling in silence. Silent Seasons reflects that isolation and the internal battles
we fought during those first two years of the pandemic,
when everything we once depended on was taken from us,
leaving us to navigate the depths of our emotions and our art in solitude.
