In her second solo exhibition at eye lounge, Cyd Peroni presents a new series of gold leaf images that explores solitude and vulnerability that came about as she looked for beauty and some sense of control during Covid-19 restrictions. Peroni’s gilded photographs become metaphors for love, loss, perseverance, hope, and gratitude.

The title of the exhibition is inspired by a quote from the novel “Slaughterhouse-Five” by Kurt Vonnegut: “Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.” Trying to understand that there aren’t always easy answers, her photographs evoke a sense of singularity and resilience.
