It’s been almost 2 months since selfisolation<br />
has been enforced worldwide,<br />
how are you feeling?<br />
I’m doing ok. I’m still not used to the whole<br />
situation though. It’s funny to me how<br />
much<br />
I missed meeting people during those<br />
past months because I usually am a pretty<br />
reserved person who doesn’t go out that<br />
often. But not being able to meet my<br />
friends in person really showed me how<br />
important that stuff is to me.<br />
What have you been doing to pass your<br />
time in quarantine?<br />
Mostly I’ve been working and sleeping a<br />
lot. Got my sleeping rhythm all mixed up.<br />
It’s been a few videocall-heavy months.<br />
But I appreciate how fast people find ways<br />
to adapt to the situation. Playing D&D,<br />
watching movies together, even celebrating<br />
birthdays over a zoom call was certainly a<br />
fun experience but there is just so much<br />
that you can do to simulate the real thing.<br />
How has the situation affected your work?<br />
I certainly had a tonne of time to think<br />
about what I do, what I wanna do and how I want my work to develop in<br />
the future. Reflecting on myself has really influenced my way of working.<br />
I really want to work more conceptionally and wish to improve on the<br />
possibility to tell a unique and interesting story through a single image.<br />
Do you have a day-to-day lockdown routine?<br />
Not really. It’s really hard for me to develop a routine for anything if I<br />
don’t somehow get pushed to do so. And even though I think routines are<br />
very essential for productivity and happiness, I work best <strong>with</strong> a loose set<br />
of rules as long as stuff gets done by the end of the week.<br />
Have any unexpected benefits come out of this situation for you?<br />
I’ve been taking pretty long walks recently so that’s a plus. I also<br />
appreciate how people get together by sharing this fate. It’s really<br />
interesting how this time is challenging all of us to adapt and rise to the<br />
occasion. Something to tell your kids about once this is over.<br />
What do you wish for the future?<br />
I have a couple of bigger projects planned out for the future but until then<br />
I just want to go on and create. There is still so much I have to improve<br />
upon and I am thankful for having a platform to share my progress and<br />
experiences!<br />
Where can we buy your art?<br />
Sadly, you won’t be able to buy my work during this time because I have<br />
no way to ship it out to you due to the pandemic. But as soon as that<br />
changes, you can visit ore-ore-ore.com for merch, prints and more.<br />
