Notes

Back Story: Since the start of the pandemic church gatherings have been prohibited to avoid large gatherings. The individual is praying alone in an empty church. That is how I feel, empty and alone physically and spiritually. Just watching the days pass by but praying for things to go back to normal.

This image was submitted to Stilled Life, a community photographic platform launched to give South Africans a place to share their Covid-19 stories, and has been selected as one of the top 100 images that will be on view at the 2020 RMB Turbine Art Fair. The proceeds of the sale of this lot will benefit the BASA Artists Relief Fund.
