The cover of this issue is by Clara Lemos, titled ‘Where to next’ Despite being an art lover for as long as I can remember, it was not until the beginning of 2021 that I decided to create my own art. In the middle of a global pandemic and going through a period of maternity leave, I felt that I needed to open up a new chapter in my life. I felt an immense need to cope with all the outside stress and anxiety to find a place of my own. My artwork is my response to the COVID-19 pandemic and my very personal way of finding meaning in isolation.
