Growing up has been a consistent dread since I was young, and has caused me to postpone expected milestones. 'Atlas’ Solitude' materialises these feelings as an abstract landscape where symbols of maturing fall from the sky, forming a beast-like mound. Literally dominating the piece is a massive pile of objects about to collapse on the person huddled underneath, contrasting the neatly organised stacks in the distance, symbolising the seemingly overwhelming amount of expectations I’ve put off because it feels overwhelming. People wander together in the light, burdenless, but the huddled person sits in shadow, isolated by their own fear and aversion to progress forward.
