2020 has made us rethink the way we live and interact with others and our surroundings . We were used to have just too much too fast. COVID-19 begun as an underestimated threat, but became an unexpected and invisible foe. And now it has obliged us to stop and look ourselves. New York City has always been an icon for humanity, full of people, movement, noise and colour. But not any more. Maybe it is time to value more those things we took for granted and give back to nature what belongs to it.
