Through the Window — Ryan Walter Wagner

Through The Window was exhibited at PoMo Arts June 30 - August 11, 2021.

In March 2020, we all faced something we’d never dreamed of or imagined before: within weeks - maybe even days - our normal daily lives changed with a global pandemic. One day we were going to work, school, and enjoying the spring cherry blossoms, and the next we were forced inside and apart from almost everyone we knew. The next few months were spent adjusting our routines, trying to stay connected to those we cared about, and watching things change right in front of our eyes. We were more connected through common experience than ever, but often alone or isolated in our glass bubbles.

Ryan Walter Wagner an artist and photographer from Vancouver, BC, created portraits to capture that very unique and challenging moment in time; he visited people in their homes and took socially distant portraits of them and their families, often through glass or “the window”. Some of these photos have now been collected in a new self-published book, titled “Through the Window”, a 60-page, full colour photo book with more than 100 photos and essays from Laurel Borrowman and Suzy Sabla.
