'Lockdown 2.0.' was a response to the 'fairtigue' experienced during lockdown. The ability (and necessity) to move exhibitions and art fairs online was a groundbreaking shift but quickly became tiresome. Frustrated and exhausted from looking at hundreds of artworks in virtual spaces, the empty space in the middle playfully mocks the ubiquitous works that could be in it's place, whilst the work as a whole is a yearning for physicality.
