This confusing and tiring period has left us feeling like there is no time or date, especially when everything has been so repetitive. There have been moments where I've struggled to feel change. I’ve even had conversations with friends asking how they are, but am told that they feel the same “as they did last week.” It's definitely been a strange time, especially as someone who is so used to thinking creatively and collaborating with people and never being home, adjusting has been weird and unexpected.
Creating self-portraits within my work was something that I never thought I would do, let alone enjoy. Despite this period feeling a little bit dreamlike, it has definitely been the perfect time to reflect, grow, and create the unexpected. It is also the time to realise what your real relationships are and value the little things in life. These difficult times have been shitty, and I know we're all dreaming just to go back to some form of normality - but now for me, personally there are things that I have achieved and am proud of. Putting out these self-portraits may sound so simple to some, but for me, it’s been a very different experience. In the end, it’s the little things that help us get through it all.
