Schools have been among the first institutions to adapt to the new measures of quarantine. What are the pros and cons of online classes?
I'm not the biggest fan of online classes. Although they allow the possibility to follow them from wherever you may be located, I believe the engagement with your teachers and classmates drives a lower motivation towards any given subject. I'd like to stress that for creative subjects it's even more challenging because most of the time you're lacking the means to fully explain your exploration process and the only feedback you receive is written.
The Fashion and Design Industries have been aggressively afflicted by the COVID-19 emergency. As a consumer, but also as a future insider of those systems, what will be the worst consequences of this crisis?
Any crisis catalyzes innovation. It will be challenging but also fun to readdress the situation. Nonetheless, I'm not sure things will change so drastically... We've experienced a consistent slow-down phase for now, but surely in less than 3 months, things will be as "normal" as they were.
Your work is built on creativity. Where do you find your inspiration in this moment?
I wasn't looking for a solution, but I did organically switched from spending an important amount of hours doing graphic design to building a small crafts studio where I've been mostly exploring with different sorts of clay. You can check out the results at the recently launched website: Figura.
