For him, it is the transition from the COVID-19 pandemic, a period of crisis, uncertainty and the unknown, to one of peace and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his residency, Ramneet worked to convey the moments during and after the pandemic through a photographic series. Photographs of empty spaces will illustrate times of confinement, while those with people will display freedom and triumph.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5194\"><a
