Day 7: Willy Ndatira
For Day 7 of the designer and creative consultant's @SHOWstudio takeover in collaboration with designer Hussein Alusch, Willy Ndatira posted a global array of intergenerational portraits, exploring opposing themes of community and isolation.
Imagery of newborns and young children proliferate on the penultimate day of Ndatira’s Instagram takeover. From Kingston, Jamaica to Cape Town, photographers Imraan Christian, Amber Pinkerton and more capture tender moments of contact between children and their parents, highlighting the absence of human touch as a result of the global pandemic.
In contrast to these affectionate familial portraits, Ndatira presented a haunting photograph taken by Julia Fullerton-Batten during the UK lockdown. Ann, Lockdown Day 74 depicts a solitary woman looking out of her bay windows onto the desolate roads outside of her home, the sky in a state of gloomy dusk.
