A past therapist had taught me that counting to four when inhaling and then six when exhaling was the most effective bioregulatory method for anxiety. From March to August 2020, I picked the camera while repeating these exercises, filming during the inhales. First a coping attempt by trying to record calmness amidst the global crisis, halfway through this reel turns into a journal of how the same breathing exercises became a recuperative practice after sudden illness and hospitalisation.
