During the quarantine, I escaped from the lockdown by drawing our collection of succulents on our terrace in barcelona. I left my sketchbook for some large format.
Drawing is a meditation, I observed them closely and drew them slowly, leaf by leaf.
I spent days, weeks and months growing my illustrations and felt serenity.
The anxiety is replaced by contemplation.
To close this cycle, I showcase my drawings together in a video installation, to exhibit them despite the lockdown.
