A photography exhibition by young creative Lewis Williamson documenting one of the impacts of the first lockdown during 2020 when the playgrounds were shut down and taped off.

The visual reminder of playgrounds cordoned off and devoid of activity drove home the fear and uncertainty of 2020, which continues to reverberate throughout the world today. This series of photographs also explores the beauty to be found in the stillness and inaction, while using those elements to create feelings of unease.

Lewis’ body of work confronts the stark reality of the initial lockdown and reminds us of the fragility of civilisation.
