The magazine of the photo-essay
May/June 2021 issue
Our Locked Away Son
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!” Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
A child behaves in accordance with their surroundings, and instead of budging with the tide, they tend to transpose their emotions with a slightest shift in their beliefs or thought process, from current circumstances. With the wake of the double impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown defining moments, the harsh rout of seclusion and boredom has been felt by generations.. children were the most dumbfounded. In retrospect, this entire episode, in a form of soliloquy, showcases from a parents point of view about their child, Shreyas', near emotional outburst, depicting a chain of events- from the creepy moments of sombreness and bondage to finding some light and onto fulfilment, videlicet the complexes of his mind in portraying his unspoken reflections of thoughts, as if they are trying to weave vibrant colours or perhaps amending some broken ends!
