Rhyme of fear

 After being carefree for seventy days, the effect of news and the mental blackmailing related to the coronavirus has started and the statistic got real. The late March and early April is the peak of Corona story’s affection, demonstration and media blackmailing. We aren’t aware of what is happening with the massive coverage of news related to corona or what’s going on behind the scene but whatever it is, it has to stay muted. Most of my foreign friends and photographers are locked down with a face of disappointment and show their creativity on social media. Their fluid and involved professional minds are exploring and following the news that mainly concerning and criticizing this situation. They are right. People are a bit coward. Although this disease or let’s say the product is cruel and vary contagious; but, demonstrating it as a monster has worked well to control and distract people’s minds.  Based on the media wave, hurting people’s feelings due to strict observance and severe OCD regarded to everything, feeling insecure even about our breaths, distrusting phone calls, extreme cleaning every small and big object in the house even though no one had visited and so on are cases that make you lose your mind.  Unnecessary and excessive usage of sanitizers such as whips, gloves, masks, and alcohol until it has become rare products in the market. I’m also aware of how serious this situation is but besides outdoor projects, I usually worked from home so I never had the feeling of being lockdown.

So I decided to have communion with the people or at least with my family and my partner. I mentioned metaphors with the arrangement but with a sense of reality but this is just a short-term test of a classic project.

Rhyme of fear is pointing to the thyme of poetry which the existence of it makes the poem rhythmic and musical. Here, the glove is the thyme of our fear of the Coronavirus.
