“In the beginning, I was constantly checking coronavirus news and social media. I noticed that I got all anxious and nervous. Now, after more than a week of self-isolation and physical distancing, that disappeared while I was basically sleeping 9-10 hours every night. I’m happy that me and my wonderful partner are cooking so much every day, we are trying out lots of new recipes and having lots of fun dancing in the kitchen. I got thrown out of my fast routines of embellishing myself and of producing work. I forgot how much I love having a cup of coffee in the morning sun on the balcony or to simply just sit and think. Isn’t it funny once the pace of capitalism slows down, it is okay to be tired? I feel like I slept it all out. I start stretching again and slowly finding my way to the studio.”
