Life After Lockdown

Title: Life After Lockdown
Date: 17 July 2020

Dimensions: 5 × 5 × 7 cm

Melbourne had just entered its second lockdown due to the pandemic, and at first, I was feeling completely stuck—mentally and physically.
So I took a piece of paper and cut out a little house, added a big window, and gave it space to “breathe.”

Once the house was done, I felt like the inside needed something too. So I drew my life into it.

There’s a warped clock with both the sun and the moon on it, symbolising my totally flipped day-night schedule 😅 The clock also looks a bit like a pizza, because honestly, I spent most of my time eating.

Next to it is a giant cup of bubble tea, my beloved Teh Tarik (so good!), a bag of half-price chips from Woolworths, and a trusty can of tuna—basically my entire lockdown diet.

There’s also me, drawing, with a cat nearby.

This piece reminds me that even when the world outside feels limited, I still have the ability to make life playful, personal, and full of small joys. Lockdown didn’t take that away—it just gave me a different lens to see it through. :)

最近墨爾本因為疫情的關係進入了第二次封城，剛開始真的有夠悶，就拿紙自己割了一個房子，並在上面加了一個大窗戶，一個希望可以透透氣的感覺。做完之後，我覺得房子裡面好像可以畫點什麼，就把我的生活也畫了進去。

裡面有一個扭曲的時鐘，上面有太陽和月亮，代表我的日夜顛倒ＸＤ那個時鐘同時也長得像披薩，代表我大部分時間都在吃，旁邊有一杯大珍奶，有我最愛的TehTarik（超好喝！）還有這週Woolworths在半價的洋芋片還有萬用的鮪魚罐頭哈哈。

我畫我正在畫畫，旁邊還有一隻貓。 這提醒了我，其實我的生活並沒有因為封城變得乏味，我是有能力可以讓事情變得有趣的：）！
