How has your everyday-life changed? What do you do to fulfill your day?
My everyday life has radically changed, since I was used to spend most of my days out of home, both at university or with friends. In these days at home, I spend much time taking online classes and working with my study group to finish our projects for school. Furthermore, I started to workout and to take yoga classes, which I never did!
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?
To be honest, I think that even in our everyday life we are overwhelmed by events that we can't control, so that we are left with a little time to focus on what we like. So, this period could be the best chance to take a break, reflect about ourselves and finish projects that were just ideas in our minds. Now we are able to make them come true.
What is your biggest fear right now?
I might sound mundane, but I think that health comes first, so my biggest concern is that all the people I love is healthy. Then, I fear that we could not go back to have any physical contact for a very long time, and that we will have to live with many limits.
What will you do once all of this is over?
I am young and I have plenty of desire of going back to normal, so I find myself wondering often about when we will start living back the life we knew. Unfortunately, I think that the road is still long and that many things we were taking for granted will not go back to normal for a long, long time. I think that we will definitely learn to appreciate the smallest things, as a simple night out with our usual friends, sitting at the usual table of the usual bar.
