Under the social distancing measures of the local government in the summer of 2021, residents like me were only allowed to go out to buy essentials twice a week. Therefore, each household in the dormitory had to share "market tickets" to buy food and necessary items for living. This was the first meeting with more than 2 people during that time, and we also wanted to go together to help carry the food. We were very happy and... strange to see each other, so the group decided to go to another supermarket near the dormitory. We bought so much that we decided to cook curry to eat gradually that evening.

Birthday cake made of cactus (IF-RES-00180077)

During the epidemic, I felt very stifled due to the lack of sunlight, as my house is in an alley and blocked by other houses covering the windows. One day, while going to the supermarket, I passed by a plant store and saw some cactus plants named 'birthday cakes,' and I felt a sense of empathy with them for lacking biological sunlight. So, on my birthday, I bought 3 plants and planted them in an old motorcycle seat, something I didn't want to sell and was currently stored at an outside parking lot. Then, every noon, I would walk out of the quarantine area's fence to the parking lot directly opposite, about 200 meters from my house, to bring out the motorcycle and the cacti to sunbathe, and then bring them back under the shelter in the late afternoon. This gave me an excuse and self-hypnosis to create a responsibility for myself to go outside for sunbathing. It was also quite easy since my house is located in two interconnected alleys, only one of which is guarded, and the one I use has no security. This continued until the quarantine fence was removed, and it also made me feel a bit more relaxed and less stifled.
