Original artwork description:

The last two years have allowed us to reflect on the idea of borders and how our behaviors and identities change. This period has helped us explore our true selves, understand who we are, and rebuild our inner relationships. In the case of an artist, the inward journey during isolation can unleash a frenzy of creativity. This dimension leads them to explore new languages and new forms of creativity.

Every human being restarts multiple times in life, a cathartic process through which we find the joy of living, improve our external and internal relationships, and give an "intrinsic meaning to our existence" as a whole. In the case of Amin, living in close contact with nature and isolated from the world was her creative nourishment.
When something so surprising happens that upends our lives, like the pandemic, it is our ability to see beyond it, to see life as a prize and therefore honor and respect it that counts.
