At the window

The window depicts a familiar moment between a father and his daughter looking out of their home window, the only moment of escape allowed during the Covid-19 pandemic.

During this period, Andrea De Luca developed a series of illustrative works dedicated to the theme of distance, connection, and relational fragility that emerged during the months of collective isolation. The series of works on butcher paper reflect on human bonds and the need to maintain emotional connections even in a state of physical separation. The works created during Covid transform architectural symbols, hybrid figures, and visionary scenarios into metaphors of the contemporary condition, evoking an imaginary suspended between unease and hope. In this pandemic production, the will to recover a sense of community and human continuity is forcefully expressed, entrusting the image with the task of symbolically repairing the distances imposed by the reality of the time.
