a thousand-foot journey to Rotterdam

a thousand-foot journey to Rotterdam

Oct 17, 2021

This year I finally realised a dream that have always felt like something I would never do. To study something I love in another country. I was really looking for ways to challenge myself and to dive into another world of art and technology. The master programme in fine art and media design: experimental publishing at the Piet Zwart Institute felt really feels like the right place for me.

The journey to Rotterdam was really long and exciting. Only on land, by train and car, I travelled more than 5500 km around Europe. I got to test how is it to pass so many borders after a year of travel difficulties, restrictions and danger. I got to test myself to be so much with people after living in isolation.

What a journey! It was full of emotions - anxiety, excitement, fear, happiness… Each stop was filled with those and therefore, I coloured them. To see them. My journey is depicted as tree branches, growing to the final destination of my trip - Rotterdam. Or it is a spilled ink on the map… Or something else that you see?

Here is my work. Detail below.
