a series of self portraits
In 2020 Covid-19 came creeping into our lives.
Some said, in the shape of karma, others called it a conspiracy,
I personally called it a curse and a blessing,
all at once.
the curse;
the world as we knew it stopped; I was left with nothing but myself.
the blessing;
the world as we knew it stopped; I was by myself facing fears and joys.
the questions
I became obsessed with a question, one that has since defined this chapter of my life:
‘If I cannot live with myself, who can?’
It turned this confusing time into an exploration,
an experiment with myself.
the boredom
Somewhere in between the fascination for the process and the endless questions,
I became utterly bored.
Often I just found myself sitting, listening, looking.
Just didn’t do anything; those moments meant everything to me.
I needed to take it all in, acknowledge the reality.
a new beginning
I had the space to morph into a new form,
I can’t define it but I feel calm,
endlessly calm.
