Between March and July 2020, many of us found ourselves furloughed or unemployed. Without regular work, time as we know it appeared to transform, losing all meaning. 'Stasis' is inspired by the illusion of time standing still, days blurring into one another as our perception of organised time gives way to only the “here and now”. Normally, living in the present instills me with a sense of calm, but as this limbo endures I have become acutely aware of time passing by around me and feeling unable to make the most of life.
