我让人们把他们的照片发给我，并把他们的肖像用钩针勾起来

I am Katika, a contemporary artist and the creator of the crochet art project "Quarantine." During six years of being a crochet artist, I have been exploring the themes of human connection. When the pandemic started and a sizable part of the global population began to isolate themselves to stay safe, I felt the overwhelming need to work.

我是卡蒂卡，当代艺术家，钩针艺术项目“检疫”的创作者。在六年的钩针艺术家生涯中，我一直在探索人际关系的主题。当大流行开始，全球相当一部分人开始隔离自己以保持安全时，我感到有一种压倒一切的工作需要。

I opened a call for crochet portraits. Having received many requests for the portraits, I came up with the idea of the "Quarantine" project. This is a collection of portraits of people who are staying strong and hopeful during the pandemic and wish to honor their loved ones and themselves through art. Those are faces of humanity which in the end, I believe, can overcome any catastrophe.

我打开了一个关于钩针肖像的电话。在收到许多关于这些肖像的请求后，我想出了“隔离”这个主意。这是一组肖像照，画的是在大流行期间仍保持坚强和希望，并希望通过艺术表达对亲人和自己的敬意的人们。我相信，人类的这些面孔最终能够战胜任何灾难。

I started the project on March 25 and completed it on May 17 of 2020. During the project's 54 working days, 34 portraits were created, with each of them taking up to 11-13 hours to make. It means that overall, I was crocheting for about 410 hours. When I wasn't crocheting, I spun and dyed yarn, sketched, and worked on other concepts inspired by the project. It was a huge endeavor and immensely important learning experience, which played a magnificent role in my evolution as an artist.

我于3月25日开工，于2020年5月17日竣工。在项目的54个工作日里，创作了34幅肖像，每幅肖像的制作时间长达11-13个小时。这意味着，总的来说，我编织了410个小时。当我不钩针的时候，我纺和染色纱线，素描，并从事其他概念的灵感来自该项目。这是一个巨大的努力和非常重要的学习经验，它发挥了一个华丽的作用，我作为一个艺术家的演变。
