This photograph is part of an unfinished series, The Waiting Room, which Torio created days before the Covid-19 lockdown. The set was created in a flat to examine the loneliness of the characters. These photographs became symbols of isolation: the characters are trapped in a claustrophobic dream or a kind of nightmare, fantasizing about leaving or anticipating to recover their lives. 

Inspired by Giovanni Boccaccio's The Decameron, every image tells a different story inspired by a real event. Each deals with a different theme: love, desire, realization, madness, and more. Together, the photographs become short movie stills, describing the experience of being indoors during the lockdown.
