After imposing the state of quarantine and work-from-home situation, the first week was a beautiful feeling that I was dreaming about, so I started making a distribution schedule for tasks that included completing work requirements, holding meetings with children and teaching them drawing remotely, and opening websites for art courses online about contemporary arts, managing cultural and artistic institutions, buying human development and self-development books, as well as creating a private space to play sports in the home instead of the club, setting aside some time for playing music, playing with my children, reading stories, participating in shaping and building a world of accessories they need for their dolls games such as Barbie, caring for planting roses and plants in the garden of my house.
A month later, a feeling of boredom and frustration began to permeate me, and drawing became the way to vent these feelings, because of my work on an art project entitled Conflict and the production of artworks in a large size and using the technique of oil colors, I needed to draw small-sized works and sketches for characters revolving in my mind and human psychological situations that need a direct drawing in ink away from my art project, and I started to open a sketches-book and work on it with one or three daily drawings, as a daily outlet and artistic practice.
Global crises and disasters are an opportunity for artists to express themselves and their societies, and their rejection of radical politics the neoliberal model which supports the free market at the expense of humanity. And criticize the system for its inability to contain the crisis, here comes the role of the artistic imagination to create an opportunity to create new visions for the future that raise the collective awareness of humanity.
The project embodies the state of a quarantine imposed by the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), as a room stuck in o’clock to stop the wheel of the accelerating life of a human, and gives him the possibility to meditate on himself and his reality, and reveal to him the secrets of his subconscious, affiliations, and thoughts, which constitute his world and daily practices, and allow him to imagine his future (the future of humanity), and the restoration of his relationship with nature.
