Mending my lockdown-brain

I wanted to mend my lockdown brain. I wanted to mend my brain and help myself with getting out of the rut of the lockdown.

Being locked up in my own room, where I have to do all the things I did before the lockdown in other places, is getting tired. I’m a hard worker and want to do the best I can with everything I make, but sometimes I forget to listen to my mind and body. Especially with the lockdown where you don’t really have fun distractions, life can get boring and hard. Knowing how to prevent mental complaints is handy to know, for me.

I made this video collage of things I did that helped me with clearing my mind. I chose to make a video collage with film and sound to give the viewer an experience of the things that relax me.
