From the very beginning, the quarantine unlocked a whole range of paradoxes, propaganda, conspiracies and utopian hopes for change. The panic-buying turned the toilet paper into a symbol of safety that can be purchased at an affordable price by anyone. Social media and the Internet proved to be the only way to communicate, but they also established themselves as the most relevant source of propaganda and manipulation. All this abundance of information that flooded us made me react to the new situation with a series of drawings in which I show that nothing new actually happened. The same old problems are now more visible than ever. - Zoran Georgiev
