Postcard Set: Quarantine Memoir
Covid-19 came into our lives and changed how we live. It has changed our lives, for a few months or a few years or forever is something we don’t really know right now. The abstract idea of this pandemic started as a joke and soon became a never ending panic for most of us.
In these first few months of nation wide lockdown, I documented my thoughts with illustrations. This self project took the shape of postcards with a small story that inspired it.
A set of 11 postcards illustrated with thoughts and observations from everyday.

I feel lucky to have the liberty to take a pause and reflect on my thoughts. I too have anxiety spread across my week as a recurring event on my calendar. It comes up with every mail in my outlook, with every news notification, with every extension on the lockdown. Some days I am furious and other days I am hopeful.
Hugs: The only hugs that are safe and permitted these days are the ones with pillows. So, hold them tight!
WFH: Work from home and working at home is exhausting, take a break. We all need it!
Recycle: I am giving it a serious thought, do I really need all the things in my cart? Spent time making a paper lampshade with tapes.
Together: Four cups on the table fill me with gratitude, at least I’m with my family.
Reading: This is the right time to find your IKIGAI!
Nature is powerful, 60 days of lockdown and counting!
