“The Thumbelina’20” This is a story about the feelings one experiences when being home alone, self-isolated. When the doors are locked (even if from inside) you feel cut off from the world and people. Everything is changing and you are shrinking to fit in the new limited space. You become tiny and fragile, missing the sense of stability and safety. Home is the only comfortable place you have left, your own little world and a miracle space. In my world I am living amid the flowers. I can climb on flowerbuds and enjoy the smell of fresh petals. I can hide from my fears in leaves. I can grow mysterious herbs of all shapes and colours, because it’s a blossoming garden of my fantasy. Imagination is a magic key which exists inside everyone, it's a bridge between worlds. Please, don’t let it disappear.
