We must remember that we are all part of nature, we are connected to the earth. In this drawing people grow out of the ground like plants, born into the light. The plants transform into strands of DNA. Nature is beautiful and filled with life, but a Covid-19 form also grows like a flower and comes close to a human figure that resembles my son, who also started to have symptoms, not being able to smell or taste at this time. My daughter married and moved abroad to Switzerland at the beginning of the year. I had thought of many visits to see her when I said goodbye to her. In this series of drawings figures have their hair connecting across distances. She is unique but also a version of myself, has my earnest walk. I cannot see her because travel is no longer possible. Who ever thought this could happen in the modern world? But in my drawings I visit the shores of the lake in Zürich where she now lives. Will I see her again?
