Back in My Studio
The number of people on the sidewalks of NYC has visibly increased. The streets have become noisier. Shops have started to reopen. The "curve" is looking better and hospitals are quietly awaiting a second wave. Overall, the situation is still far from safe, but I´ve decided to move forward and "reopen my business" as well, heading back to my studio activities after 11 weeks in quarantine. This spring was a months-long time stop, but I am happy that it was possible to survive this period without big losses. However it is clear that society has become more tense with this record unemployment rate: it feels to me that any small spark has the potential to cause chaos. I can't predict the future, but I believe the second wave will be a social crisis. The reason could be racial issues, right-wing movements, government corruption, or any of the myriad of other issues that have already been escalating in recent times. The near future is not so bright, but I hope that this is temporary and better days will come soon. (29.5.2020)
