I want to put the inner state, the memories and sound of my mind on paper.
Self-biographical life mixing with fictional – as always.
The taste that remains after. Sound. The memory of body, touch on a skin.
AHNUNGEN – AAVISTUKSIA
– a forethought of an incidence.
– a strong intuition.
– an atmosphere, state of mind, where any turning point of an event could be possible.
– a flashback of a childhood memory.
