Bars - STEVEN R. TABOR

Bars

Does putting up bars on our house keep us safe?

Yes, I am a prisoner of sorts, but my prison isn't the house. It's my own thoughts that lock me up!
--V.C. Andrews

This photo-book was prepared at a time when much of Europe was locked down in their homes. Collectively, the doors were barred to slow the progression of a microscopic virus.

This photo series combines images of the model M taken in February 2020. She was posing against various bars---i.e. the bars of a metal headboard and the slats of a wooden railing. Her poses are generally positive and playful, yet at the same time also pensive and pessimistic, foreshadowing possibly the dark and difficult times to come.
