The impossibility of physical and visual contact had a strong impact on each and every one of us.

This work was born in the middle of pandemic restrictions. Distance and loss leave a great emptiness that cannot be filled by any hug, touch, skin, or warmth.

The only tactility possible is the one offered by the pillow, which becomes a simulacrum of a friend.
