How do I let my art take back control over me?
Do you remember when you were terrible, and everything felt electric? You had no idea what you were doing, and you dove in anyway.
Now you know a lot more. But you’re more afraid than ever.
You don’t need another course. You need to regain the eroticism of risk.
You’ve been at it for a while -schools, workshops, programs- and you catch yourself repeating solutions that once worked.
You do the reasonable thing: keep training. “I’m not ready yet,” you tell yourself. “I just need to learn this one more thing.”
But deep down, you know it’s not a lack of knowledge.
Your solution has become the problem.
Quarantine happens on a real quarantine island, created in the 18th century to isolate disease.
Your phone stays at the hotel.
You cross the sea.
You penetrate the double wall.
Seven days.
The island changes you:
A mental block is a decision that once protected you, but that no longer works.
When you see it clearly, shame loses its grip:
(1) You do something unexpected. You realize you can do whatever the hell you want.
(2) You make decisions you’ve been avoiding for years. You hold the discomfort and walk straight through it.
(3) A new path opens. An obsession that brings wonder back.
If you’re looking for a retreat where someone teaches you step by step techniques, this is not your place.

Quarantine doesn’t change your work. It dismantles the structure that limits it.
At school, they taught you to salivate when the bell rings.
At Quarantine, you learn to be Pavlov.
And no one rings your bell ever again.
We’re looking for artists who bet on their art like their life depends on it.
Because it does.
