#FlashbackFriday - Bear In The Window.

Remember when we were all struggling with this new concept of a lockdown? We were looking for creative ways to keep our community connected and find some happiness. Anything to fight the tedium! The kids especially found it difficult, so one of the initiatives I initiated in my community was #BearInTheWindow.
The concept was easy enough; grab a teddy bear, place it in your window and when the children went out with their parents for their allocated exercise time, they could go Teddy Bear spotting! I had lot's of teddy bears and lots of windows - so I had them everywhere!
Other neighbours soon followed suit and the kids in my neighbourhood loved it. I loved hearing their sweet giggling voices as they enjoyed their evening stroll.
Here are just a few of the bears I placed in my windows...and on furniture (believe me - there were a lot more!)

友邻的一个吐槽让我第一次听说到这个艺术家：盐田千春。看了一些展览图片，然后决定在网上下单买一本关于这个展览的书。#lifeinlockdown

那些旧箱子的观感让我想到奥斯维辛集中营博物馆里成堆的犹太人的行李箱，加入了这个联想之后就觉得是有凸显主题的。
