Being separated and isolated from our relatives and friends, we’re going through a special sense of time-and-space, in which we feel delayed when we’re alone but shifted when we’re reunited. The different feelings between quarantine and reunion make me rethink about how we deal with our time at present, so to speak, how we remember the past and how we face the future.
