And like after World War I, a lot of European artists went back into classicism, trying to run away from this feeling of destruction that the war had brought in and stepped away from the experimentalism that came before, I think we used creativity to rebuild those pillars and that order.

And it was hard, it was filled with obstacles, but it was beautiful, because at a moment where we had missed human connection and at a moment where our societies are becoming more fragile and loveless, we were able to recreate a moment of warmth, of love and magic, at a moment where it was hard to find any.
