The writer searches for ways of not losing touch with people during the covid-19 pandemic and the rules of social distancing. She realizes that isolation from people has led to a parenthesis of time and isolation from the future. By re-viewing her experience from the exhibtion The Castles of the Hour Blue of the Belgian visual and theatre artist Jan Fabre that she has visited twice, she explores the possibility of a future as longing, through the concept of metamorphosis and Fabre's creative coping with time.
