No Left Turn - Elizabeth Schiavello

No Left Turn' from 'False Warmth' 2019

“Personality facades. The masks people wear; the inauthentic versions of themselves they present to the world to hide anxieties, depressions and traumas.

Often these masks are developed in early years to protect from feelings of inadequacy, weakness or insecurity and are carried through into adulthood.

At night, when returning home, they take off their masks. Sometimes this brings relief and sometimes it makes space for the anguish and despair to rise. The safety of home can bring comfort from a cold world but it can also bring a deeper isolation, a false warmth.

Elizabeth Schiavello is a Melbourne-based, architecture, interiors and fine art photographer whose work predominantly explores the built environment. Elizabeth’s work is characterised by strong, considered compositions with a focus on emphasising shape, form, light and scale. Elizabeth’s recent fine art work explores isolation in the built environment and the reasons for its prevalence.”
