SOLACE / LAZAR FELDMAN & KIM LE
SOLACE was inspired by our evolving relationship with nature in the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the experience of quarantine. As so many of us are forced to interface with each other through digital means, we wanted to convey a contrast to that by showing a body interfacing and interacting with the cold ocean, placing the subject in a position of physical discomfort. The work hopes to capture the feeling of nature as a comforting force and explore the boundaries between the human body and the raw elements, as well as testing the body’s physiological limits and representing the inner psychological landscape of the swimmer.
