Art — Lockdown Companion
Written by Aafia Muhammad Amin
Each one of us was super busy in our professional lives. We had no time for ourselves, for our hobbies and for our passions. We were just running with the clock’s tick tock and then a point came when it felt like the clock has stopped, we all became locked in our homes while the novel Covid-19 explored the world.
The world was locked-up in homes, business and studies switched to E-world, public gatherings, social hangouts were all banned. In those days of Covid-19 lockdown, severe pressure, extreme care and depressed routine, art became the only source of joy.
In those days, we had no pending appointments, we didn’t have to rush for the bus, we didn’t have to skip meals for upcoming projects and we didn’t have to leave our hobbies aside. That was the time when the love for art and the passion for creativity took its turn.
In the boring days of Covid-19 lockdown, arts was all that we can explore while staying at home. The different forms of art, its different mediums were all there to make our leisure creative.
Art is not just about painting or coloring, it’s about life, it’s about the creativity and it’s all about YOU. Through it, one explores an entirely new world of colors; explore ourselves, ideas, thoughts in head and pain in heart. It is the art that let out all the dullness of one’s soul, the boring scenario of one’s surrounding and the stressful chaos in one’s head over the paper. It is
through art that one can go into different shades of one’s soul.
Painting, sketching, digital art, doodling; all comes under the roof of arts. It was all in the Covid-19 lockdown when we found time for our passion, for our hobbies and for our soul. It was art that took us to analyze the different shades of our depressed, anxious soul throughout the lockdown diaries.
