Parenthesis

Sarah Carp

«Save Lives,» the posters outside proclaim: «Stay at home». At home, some relish the sanctity of their own four walls, while for others those walls start closing in. What happens to a single mother when her world suddenly ends at the front door? She discovers not only the claustrophobia and limitations, but also the magical moments of everyday homelife with two small children. Perception shifts and time moves differ­ently. It is the nature of these historic times that everybody in the country experiences the March/April lockdown together, but at the same time very separately.
