None of us were ready for what this year has brought . As we were bombarded with more and more bad news we all had to find ways to cope with the situation and try to shelter ourselves and our loved ones from the constant negativity. Everyone has found their own way to do so. And, alas, being preoccupied with our own cause we, as a human beings, once again managed to leave a trail of devastation in nature, with millions of masks and plastic gloves littering the streets and ending up in streams that carry them into the oceans...

The whole experience feels to me like a movie where we broke off into an alternative universe on fragmented floating islands as the world we once knew has faded away. I added A few words and images to remember this moment.

To map the lockdown moments of the last 2 months, I decided to draw and map the different monsters who I have gotten to know who live in the different spaces of my house ( I think the Toy Monster was my favourite!). Outside our safe area, filled with our pets I have created a maze, marking out our go-to neighbourhood spots that we can no longer visit these days.

During the lockdown in Malta and Gozo, it has been allowable to walk for exercise and this is the walk I have taken on most days. It starts downhill but the track up to Fort Chambfray is a great heart attack hill

i always do these activities during quarantine.

Some places that I have visited around the world virtually while staying at home!

I miss going out and just using basic things as google maps. My house which during initial week felt like a box soon expanded as a space. It became my new world. I realised going from one location in my house to another itself can be seen as a journey. Each room served a purpose similar to how spaces outside are. My kitchen was the newest trending restaurant, my new office was my once neglected desk etc. Similar to google maps, there were routes and paths with more traffic than usual. Therefore, decided to map this moment literally.

This place is my world at the moment, every walk starts from here. I love chatting with the neighbours- from a distance!

Lot of things to do while in quarantine!
