How has your everyday-life changed? What do you do to fulfill your day?
Actually, my daily life has not changed too much. I'm still busy all day long between classes and work from home. I'm doing what I was doing before, the only difference is that I'm doing it at home (including my workout). Though, there's a positive not on that: I'm a little relieved that I don't have to spend 4 hours everyday on public transportations to go to school.
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?
I think that the only solution to keep being creative in these days is to build a routine, never go to sleep late and most of all never wake up late. Having a regular schedule will help our mental sanity, and to organize our duties and especially our breaks, that are fundamental too. My creativity has been inspired by the little tricks I made up using the things I found in my home: I went through old materials, found new solutions with the few objects I had there, reinvented them. It's an underestimated exercise that still is fundamental, because creativity always starts from our minds.
What is your biggest fear right now?
Right now, my biggest fear is my future in the industry. I still don't know what is expecting me when this will all be over, so I'm scared because I can't make plans.
What will you do once all of this is over?
For sure, the only future I'm thinking of right now is the scenario where I will be able to see again my aunts, just eat a pizza with my boyfriend and drink a coffee with my friends and schoolmates. In my head, I'm even organizing my next trip. As it happens after every disgrace, I hope that this crisis will soon be followed by a strong realization. This is what I hope to see in the world after Coronavirus: awareness.
