This project is a personal exploration of my surroundings and my emotions during my 14 days self-isolation (inside) and the 1st day after my self-isolation (outside). I was exhausted both physically and mentally from my journey of flying back to Australia and being unable to continue my university exchange. During my isolation, I was mostly anxious and desperate about the fact that I was restricted from entering the outside world and I was stuck in my little home. Couldn’t meet my friends, the cinemas and the parks are closed. My mental state was a real mess. On the 15th day, I went out for the first time to see my neighbourhood since I came back to Australia. It was then I felt a little welcoming for the first time, being able to see strangers since a long while just make me feel warmth interestingly.
I made like a little poem that combines what I feel about the current state with a mini implicit instruction of what to do when you are going outside. Nearly every form of social gathering is closed; only 2 people at a time going outside; people are rarely seen in the city area.
