Isolation in Crowded

16/03 ISOLATION IN CROWDED SPACES

Since changing my theme from ‘young people living in London’ to ‘isolation/ loneliness in busy spaces’, ‘self-isolation’ has become a well-known term due to the coronavirus outbreak. There has been a strong relation to my project here as so many people in this time are feeling lonely and are having to be alone within these busy and crowded cities. I would like to begin to explore areas of this within my work. The illustrations I have already created, where colours are allocated to certain groups or isolating certain people in groups in one colour, would work extremely well fitting into this idea as there is a clear idea of loneliness.

I started illustrating spaces/scenarios where feeling isolated in busy spaces would be more common, to get a better idea of what would work for my final scenes in my publication. I really like the imagery of a building or flat with the separate people and their lives still continuing on whilst stuck inside their spaces.
