Through your window

Liège, just after the lockdown. The quarantine had ended, but the social bubble remained.
In that transitional moment, I followed a group of extraordinary artists.
As an outsider, I was allowed to observe at a distance, yet somehow close.

Day by day, the boundary faded.  The glass between us seemed less rigid, less dividing.
They welcomed me, embraced me, and their warmth seeped through everything.
From behind the glass, I watched them create.
Their view of the world, their way of feeling and sharing, moved me deeply.
I looked at them, at their art, and they looked back.

Distance turned into closeness. The glass became a window, not a barrier
