How has your everyday-life changed? What do you do to fulfill your day?

I spend the day studying and taking classes online, I work out at home, read books and do activities I didn't do before due to lack of time, such as spending more time with my family and taking more care of myself.

Your work is built on creativity. While we’re all in quarantine, what is your solution to keep on being creative? Where do you find your inspiration in this moment?

Make the most of this time, which will not be given back to us, by doing as much as possible things that we had not previously time to do: rearranging old photos, cleaning the house, organizing closets and shelves. The most important thing in my opinion is to "keep our minds busy" and do something to keep us active and not lose the regular rhythms of everyday life.

What is your biggest fear right now?

More than fear, it's anxiety about uncertain future. What will be the upcoming times and what the next steps we will have to face. It is an unclear situation that personally leaves me with a sense of helplessness and oppression. 

What will you do once all of this is over?

I imagine what it will be like to be able to go out again, to hug each other; I hope we won't take for granted these things that until a few weeks ago we considered normal.
