Connected Disconnect
Robyn Wilkinson
12 April - 2 May 2024

Enter the captivating world of Robyn Wilkinson's debut exhibition, Connected Disconnect. Through her lens, Robyn subtly explores the modern social dynamic, focusing on the dominant presence of smartphones. Each photograph delicately hints at the complexities of human connection in a digital age, capturing moments of solitude and distraction amidst social settings and beautiful surroundings.

Connected Disconnect invites viewers to reflect on the subtle interplay between technology and interpersonal relationships. Robyn's imagery navigates the fine line between intimacy and detachment, prompting contemplation of the evolving landscape of social norms.

In this exhibition, Robyn's photographs serve as a quiet invitation to explore the profound impact of technology on the fabric of our social fabric.

Free entry. All welcome!
