Pandemic and war are similarly destructive events. Whether it is a virus or human cause,  environments become deserted, and daily spaces lose their functions. Vegetation saturates  everything in a green colour of indifference. 

Empty bus stops, extinguished display boards, faded-out directions, illustrate a state where  everything becomes useless without humans. They have nowhere to go, nowhere to hurry. All  necessary and daily routine becomes insignificant and alien.
