  Online dance classes

  Trying to pivot to online dance classes. Pulled my very old ballet shoes out to try to keep up with classes during Melbourne's long lockdown in 2020. Sadly it didn't really work due to a lack of space and the fact that I have carpeted floors, but it was nice to be able to connect with friends and feel like we were doing something together.

  Funeral homes overwhelmed by surge of COVID-19 deaths in Fresno

  COVID-19 has caused a surge in deaths worldwide. Funeral homes in the United States are feeling the effect, with many workers sometimes working more than 12 hour days 7 days a week. There has also been a shortage of caskets and urns as well as a strain on the supply of creation boxes.

  Sacrifice

  This story evokes the message of sacrifice, similar to what we have been feeling during lockdown; it feels as though we have had to sacrifice our recreational lives. However, I have used the theme of sacrifice to show that although we all have to sacrifice something, we are doing it for a good cause and we are doing it to help each other. By sacrificing our outdoor life, we reduce the chance of spreading infection to everyone around us, and if everyone was to agree to this ideology, we would all be helping each other drastically. That is the message being inculcated within my short story; one may have to sacrifice something, but by doing so they are ensuring the wellbeing of multiple others.

  my room: 13 square meter

  When you continue to do something everyday, it would change you. This is the idea that I bring to my work. My understanding of repetition and the things I thought are the same have changed as my observation changed during the time fo pandemic. Everyday is different, and life is about observing the changes of the dullness in our mind. Repetitions can be very beautiful as long as your heart is saying it's beautiful.
