Playing With Time

By Hilary Barry 2022
How lockdown felt, emotions experienced through isolation and distancing – boredom, fear, dejection, frustration, hope, resilience, and love. Walking past windows, watching shadows, wondering what is going on. Would we ever join socially together again? Everything, it seemed, looked, and felt slightly different to what we were used to. Our windows were some of the only places where we could share our lives with one another, where we can see each other and be seen in return. We were forced to separate from each other, windows became vital tools for connection
