“We can never know what to want, because, living only one life, we can neither compare it with our previous lives nor perfect it in our lives to come.”
(Milan Kundera)


Imagine walking through a dense forest. The sheer volume of trees, the multitude of leaves, the interplay of light and shadow - all these elements are overwhelming. To make sense of it, our minds simplify the myriad shades of grey into discrete forms. But what if you fall further down into the unknown space in-between? The boundaries dissolve, a sense of control transforms into a pleasant chaos, where new relationships, scenarios and possibilities are waiting to be discovered.
