How has your everyday-life changed? What do you do to fulfill your day?
It hasn't changed what I do, but how I do it: before the pandemic, I was more enthusiastic, while now I carry on by inertia. Still, I have to say that we should all be grateful to this pause: it is nocive, of course, but it is also a chance to see things with a new perspective.
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?
I think that it is very useful to rediscover what we have around; I had the chance to look at myself for how I was before the pandemic, and now I have new targets and goals. I am not the person I was, not anymore.
What is your biggest fear right now?
To forget some smells. Of course I can't have a physical archive of smells, but I would be so sad if I have to loose them. I'm kidding! Actually, I don't have particular fears.
What will you do once all of this is over?
I think that everything that we will do during and after the lockdown will be absolutely different, maybe more difficult. I can't wait to go out and be surprised. If someone is going on, we can all do it.
