Xan Padrón

In March 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic, I found myself constantly looking for ways to cope with the kind of uncertainty we were facing. Since I couldn't leave my home to do what I love the most (taking pictures of people) I began creating imaginary people with the elements I had around me, like the little lemons from our lemon tree...

During my confinement in Galicia I couldn't stop doing, making and creating, and although I knew that everything I was creating was ephemeral, the process of making it brought me so much joy and hope that I began experimenting with more lemons and more branches, and you can see some of those results in these two pieces: the “Time Lapse Series: Lemonheads COVID 19 Special Edition”, with lemons and branches from our lemon tree “passing by” and old door.
