Resumen
Sorpresivamente nos tocó afrontar una pandemia a nivel mundial para la que nadie estaba preparado, donde las noticias alarmantes, el miedo, el confinamiento y la tensión se sienten en el ambiente. La tristeza por tener que distanciarnos de nuestros seres queridos, dejar nuestras aulas de clases, ya no poder ir al colegio y comenzar a vivir en otra realidad este último año de estudios de bachillerato, fueron circunstancias que cambiaron mi forma de comportarme. Recibir clases en línea, no poder desarrollar los últimos proyectos de año, reuniones, paseos, eventos especiales para celebrar nuestra graduación, poco a poco, se fueron esfumando en el pasar de los días, semanas, meses en aislamiento. En este contexto, ¿cómo dar espacio para que nuevas ideas, ilusiones postergadas por falta de tiempo se empiecen a manifestar en mi día a día?, ¿cómo expresar sentimientos y dejarlos salir?… Allí estaba el reto para mí. El arte siempre ha tenido un papel fundamental en mi vida, desde pequeña amaba asistir a cursos de pintura, de danza y de dibujo; y esto representa todas las cosas que normalmente me cuesta expresar; es mi terapia relajante favorita. Al principio de la cuarentena estaba abrumada por lo que pasaba afuera y no era capaz de concentrarme en mis deberes, trabajos y obligaciones, se me pasaba el tiempo tan rápido y, además, las redes sociales me absorbían demasiado. Era una carrera desenfrenada hacia ningún lugar, pero gracias a que en familia siempre estamos tratando de apoyarnos nos dimos cuenta, que algo no estaba bien mucho tiempo juntos, pero poco compartir. Decidimos hacer un alto y dedicarle tiempo al arte; para ello me reorganicé para establecer tiempos considerando siempre como prioridad estudiar y sacar espacios para el arte y la diversión, una fórmula que me resultó muy gratificante y derivó en una experiencia de entretejer el arte y estudios en tiempos de cuarentena.
Palabras clave: tejer, bordar, familia, pandemia, sentimientos y expresiones.
Abstract
We were suddenly faced with a global pandemic for which no one was prepared, where alarming news, fear, confinement, and tension filled the air. The sadness of having to distance ourselves from our loved ones, leave our classrooms, no longer be able to go to school, and begin living in a different reality during this last year of high school were circumstances that changed the way I behaved. Taking classes online, not being able to work on our final projects of the year, meetings, field trips, special events to celebrate our graduation—little by little, these things faded away as the days, weeks, and months passed in isolation. In this context, how could I make room for new ideas and dreams that had been put off due to lack of time to begin to manifest themselves in my daily life? How could I express my feelings and let them out? That was the challenge for me. Art has always played a fundamental role in my life. Since I was little, I loved attending painting, dance, and drawing classes, and this represents all the things that I normally find difficult to express; it is my favorite form of relaxation therapy. At the beginning of the quarantine, I was overwhelmed by what was happening outside and was unable to concentrate on my duties, work, and obligations. Time passed so quickly, and social media absorbed me too much. It was a frantic race to nowhere, but thanks to the fact that our family always tries to support each other, we realized that something was not right: we spent a lot of time together but shared little. We decided to take a break and devote time to art. To do this, I reorganized myself to establish a schedule that always prioritized studying and made room for art and fun, a formula that I found very rewarding and led to an experience of interweaving art and studies during quarantine.
Keywords: knitting, embroidery, family, pandemic, feelings, and expressions.
