What happens when all of this ends? Do we step out and embrace the world the same way we used to, or do we head out with a renewed sense of loss, hope and being? These questions have surfaced in many minds time and again — not only because we want to look forward to another day but also because questioning now is a more natural instinct that ever before.

Staying indoors has led to different experiences for everyone and loneliness has entered our lives in various ways; it need not be the absence of physical presence but just the sheer departure from the "normal" routine. It is this sense that is effectively rendered in graphite drawings on paper in Goan artist Kedar Dhondu's project Lonely Residents, as part of Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts' Surviving SQ (Self Quarantine), curated by Leandre Dsouza where artists share creative coping strategies during this unpredictable time.
