The series “Locked-In” explores the phenomenon of feeling stuck and the failure to control the forces that seem to dictate our lives. 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.
