Wandering again in the imagination … embracing the quiet of the closed society.

At the start of the pandemic, I lost my desire to create (or my ability to think creatively). I tried to force it on occasion, but that never worked. Now it is slowly coming back and these words help me see the positive side of seclusion … getting lost in my imagination (without interruption).

This mixed-media collage features those words cut from a vintage manuscript.
