The self-experience of living in a specific time of Covid-19 when the daily death rate from the outbreak was high and the impact of great social and political events on people’s daily life was inevitable made me think more about the concept of loss and death. It seemed that we were all stuck somewhere in the present, without going back to the past and without the ability to throw ourselves into the future. Waiting, suspension, and loss meant to us more than ever throughout the time of the pandemic. By using the instantaneous nature of photographic representation in capturing the existing reality of the pandemic through the approach of Vanitas Still Life paintings of the 17th century within the memento mori tradition, I have taken photos of tables that have been arranged with melted candles, withered flowers, moldy, and rotten foods and fruits and symbolic objects of vanitas still life paintings like skull and timepieces to allude to the parties that never have happened. This photo belongs to the series “In Abeyance” which shows pictures of loss and absence to remind us of the mortality of humans and the fleeting nature of pleasure. Hours, days, and months passed as we felt more and more the absence of our loved ones and the loss of time which could have been allocated to be together and escape from the boredom of daily life. This is an attempt to preserve the collective memory of all those who have lived in the specific period of the pandemic and dealt with the concept of loss and waiting.
