I cannot recall the last day that I had spent stress-free. As we live in an uncertain world, stress and anxiety are our constant companions. The pandemic and the lockdown have only added to them, making our lives similar to the world that is portrayed in Dystopian artwork like films and novels. I quit social media to protect myself from further pain and started focusing on creating life through art.  I started learning to sketch portraits and I am finding inspiration in the works of other young artists.
