Old structures are changing, we’re discovering new ways of communication and – often with no choice because of strict lockdowns – rediscovering our close environments and coming to appreciate elements of our lives that we sometimes took for granted.

Wacht… Die dag keek ik er uren naar. En daar, in de schaduw Is het te veel gevraagd Misschien is ze dat koele briesje. dicht bij de gerimpelde huid om een teken te geven?
