NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER
OF INVENTION – UPSIDES
“Back then, frustration was the main feeling overall: deleting
all traveling plans and suffering those crazy restrictions
of freedom like ‘curfew’ or being ‘forced to stay at
home’. I’m personally a loner in a sense I enjoy the time
with myself, I like to paint with no-one and, always take
solitude as an opportunity,” Alone from Milan reveals.
“As a graphic designer, lockdown didn’t change a thing
for me; I’m still glued to the computer. Whatever...
the nerd life,” laughs Func, admitting at least his profession
was unaltered. Pheo tried to take the good with
the bad: “My job, although required that I worked as usual,
but for a short period, I worked from home. This gave
me opportunities to make a piece or two during lunch
break. I tried to do this as often as possible, most of
the time alone, but sometimes it was possible to meet
up with a couple of others. The advantage of Graffiti
is that you can join up outside and keep the required
distance. This opportunity meant a lot to me. Being
able to keep up with my painting gave a lot of new energy
and let a bit of positivity into a time where things
looked bad.”
So, after a time of frustration and grief came an
acceptance. The circumstances were undeniable. The
best one could do to cope with the situation was to seek
possibilities rather than focusing on problems. Thus,
some started to practice their craft to step their game up.
I’m personally a loner in a sense I
