“The idea for "Burnout" was born after a year and a half of involuntary creative lethargy caused by Covid - 19. At the begining I was angry, then I felt empathy for others, then some self-pity due to my own uselessness, and finally a humility. The humility to live without any words like “must” or “want to”. Just to be. Then I realized how long I had lived under the dictatorship of the modern self-demand - to be responsible, to be successful, to be reliable, to be, to be… everyone else but me!” V. Kuncheva
With "Burnout" we try to whisper to you to wake up and live now. Not tomorrow. Now!
