'Detached'

Although I am mostly known for my marine art, I was very inspired by the recent events of coronavirus and created my piece called 'Detached'.

'Detached' depicts an inner experience of self-transformation to become emotionally detached from other humans out of fear of illness and stress; a 'metaphora'* to a very different kind of creature in order to survive. (* Greek)

Such metamorphosis makes a good metaphor for the great changes of globalisation, and what this pandemic is bringing about, a world transformation, leading to a whole new perception of existence. There may be a long period of confusion and disorientation on the inside, even if it is not showing on the outside.

'What takes a caterpillar a few weeks can often take a human a few years.' as described by renowned evolution biologist and futurist, Elisabet Sahtouris.
