How has your everyday-life changed? What do you do to fulfill your day?
To be honest, my life has changed for the better. Since the lockdown, I'm learning everyday to focus on myself, my goals, my hobbies and my studies... even if there are some up and downs. There are days when I can't give my 100%! Though, I try to make everything work, between school, workouts and off duty. I found back some of the creativity that I lost due to all the commitments I had before, I was so busy that I couldn't realize how easy it was to find inspiration from the smallest things of a daily routine. Ironically, even in this situation of crisis could be a chance to re-discover your inspiration.
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?
As I said, I think that inspiration can be found in everything, even in things you would never expect. I think that any creative should take this time as a challenge: how far can we push our imagination? How can we take advantage of this situation, without letting negativity tear us down? How can we improve our skills? In the end, I think that it's very easy. As everything else in life, it's just how you look at things.
What is your biggest fear right now?
In this particular moment, my thoughts go to my dears, to all the people who are suffering without reason, and to the risky economical situation of our Country. I'm afraid that sometimes I give too much importance to some things that don't matter at all, so I'm scared that I could not give my best every time - despite all the free time I have now. Most of all, I'm worried about the future.
What will you do once all of this is over?
I'm thinking a lot about that, lately. It will take a lot of time before we could come back to the "normal life" we knew. I think and I hope that it will be a better life, but I don't want delude myself, since I don't have much trust in people. Not everybody realize how much we need to change our habits, to not go back to the same mistakes that led us to the current situation. About my future, my priority is to focus on my graduation and go on with my projects: first of all I want to move to another city, when it will be possible. I think that as a creative it will be very difficult to rise: to emerge in our industry is already difficult, and from now on we will need to bet on all the skills that make us unique, different from others, in a landscape that is already full of great ideas and fundamental needs.
