These two short stories, #threefeetapart and #toohuman, were drawn while in confinement, a measure taken globally to stop the spread of the coronavirus since March 2020.
"We are experiencing a moment of crisis. A moment of illusion, where time seems to stand still. But it can also be a time of revelation: how self-consuming can it be, aiming for the future, thinking there is time, planning ahead. Don't get me wrong, it can be also a good thing, as long as we don't let the present pass us by, as long as we don't miss out on opportunities that can't be measured with results. A chance to touch, to express emotions, to be truthful, respectful, responsible to oneself and to others. A chance to gain agency of oneself, not only by showing strength, but also vulnerability and care, away from individual arrogance.
I need to re-learn in distance now, how it feels to be human. And if this is too big of an aspiration, how it feels to be just...me".
