To each their own confinement

Following recent events due to Covid, we are increasingly noticing that since the pandemic and its many lockdowns, humans increasingly have a desire, or even a need, to isolate themselves, to self-confine, to retreat to small and restricted spaces.

This adventure through a confined space inspires us to challenge ourselves, to swim against the tide of a society that makes us think ever bigger. We can ultimately enjoy a certain degree of freedom through a return to simplicity.
Why do humans seek isolation? How do they do it? How do they respond? How does the place we are in affect the experience? Are there environments specific to mental escape while confining the body?
