This is where I was born and where I lived the first years of my life.
Becoming aware, subconsciously, of the duality of things.
Two sides of a river, two parts of the world, two types of habitat, two ways of motion.

I was 5 when my parents loaded a truck with our belongings.
They sat my brother and me in our little car and we left for a big adventure:
an 800 km ride to our future home in Izola (Slovenia).

It didn't bother me though... I was so shy that it was hard to make me speak anyway.
Silence gave me all the time I needed to observe the world around me.
Time to inhale and embrace the surrounding
so that every day for the rest of my life
I could feel how rich I am.
