No Friends But The Mountains

A shaft of afternoon light illuminates a man as he takes in the vast artwork of Ibrahim Mahama’s ‘No Friends But The Mountains’ at Cockatoo Island as part of the Biennale of Sydney.

In this age of social distancing, self-isolation and lockdowns, I thought this was an apt image for these times. While we become increasingly solitary and physically shut off from each other, there are still opportunities to engage with art, ideas and reflection.
