Alice in Lockdown. Caterpillar dreams

Equating the dream logic of Lewis Carroll with the lived political reality of Covid19.

Alice in Lockdown is a A self-directed illustration project where Zubieta explores the confusion and self transformation journey we have gone through since the beginning of Lockdown.

Bringing vibrant colour to often bleak subjects, Zubieta explores the millennial culture and its issues through pink tinted glasses, neon colours and dreamy characters. Zubieta found in Alice the perfect metaphor to explore the reality she was living in during the outburst of Covid 19. 

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland represents the child's struggle to survive in the confusing world of adults. To understand our adult world, Alice has to overcome the open-mindedness that is characteristic for children. Apparently, adults need rules to live by. Going down the rabbit hole: in the book is a representation  of going into the unconscious, connected with lockdown, Covid-19 seems to be the hole that has trapped us all at home, forcing us to deal with our inner monsters but also with the voice we listen to the most; the mass  media.
