Patti O'Halloran These images hauntingly encapsulate the enigmatic feeling of being "locked in" by people, relationships, age. Looking at them I want to break free from those restraints. Thank you.
The series “Locked-In” explores the phenomenon of feeling stuck and the failure to choose to move forward. Using metaphor and imagery that suggest the inability to move on or to complete a task, the series evokes the absence of agency particularly by women, who feel consciously aware of what they should pursue or speak up about but feel impotent in the face of a dominant power: unequal relationships, societal expectations and especially the disappearance of relevancy with encroaching age.
