Art of Resilience1

Marites van Vianen

Art of resilience means we are capable of doing things in a positive way, we put it into art everything what we feel and being aware of what is happening during this pandemic despite that we are sad, depress or we have anxiety because of sudden confinement.

It embodies the crisis we face through different countries fighting to survive during the early impact of the Covid19 Pandemic.

I included my home country Philippines as the nation’s healthcare falters amid covid-19 and faces another challenge-food shortage. The severity of our current crisis is indicated by the extreme uncertainty as to how or when it will end.
