“Social interconnectedness offers human beings a sense of identity and a way to deal with

our everyday emotions. The lockdown is a time of great anxiety and uncertainty. We feel the world has changed. Many people are stuck inside their homes and not able to visit other places. Everyday routines are boring and it seems pointless to even do ordinary tasks at home. I would like to create a new fantastical world which offers an escape from the daily routine, our mundane way of seeing and to challenge our sense of every day.

​

In Adapting To The New Reality Of Life Under Lockdown I want to make familiar things unfamiliar, to remove normal everyday life experiences, from familiar associations, to turn it over and to displace it. I would like to give an everyday domestic experience a new meaning, in order  to change the way we perceive the things around us.”
