grounded

_MG_0590_MG_0599_MG_0625

sometimes I need to pop that balloon which takes me floating far, far away. to land and to practice staying grounded.

today I photographed my friends beautiful feet in the rain.

where time stands still

I learned how to swim in this pool. there’s something melancholic with a pool not in use. or perhaps it is just my melancholic mind.

~I remember the feeling of the grooved, plastic carpet under my feet. swallowing too much water while swimming. sneaking into the boys sauna. the smell of hot wood and chlorine water. feeling slightly shy but curious about nudity. humidity that makes your long john’s glue to your skin once you got dressed. wet, cold hair underneath a woolen hat. and in summertime the sound of the trampoline outdoors. bringing our turtle in a plastic box to the pool. scraping your toes on the concrete slabs. buying ice cream and mixed candies in the little kiosk and taking the bus back home with another pair of freckles and feeling happily exhausted~

3xhands

hands are beautiful.

I believe I could pair hands with faces on people I hardly know. and on a man, I am often drawn to their hands.

calling home

_MG_9748

~staying in touch, picking up the phone, writing a postcard, sharing. I want to prioritize it more, my long distance relationships.

counting the days before going to sweden, looking forward, anticipating.

a green visit

_MG_9652_MG_9663_MG_9666_MG_9649_MG_9671_MG_9640_MG_9579_MG_9677_MG_9700_MG_9684

caressing leaves, hugging trees, watching ducks, sitting on a bench-breathing, taking many photos.

that’s what I did in the botanical garden, such a magical place.

a little bit more

_MG_9644_MG_9613_MG_9589_MG_9612_MG_9603_MG_9645_MG_9733_MG_9630_MG_9636_MG_9594_MG_9616_MG_9620

isn’t it quite amazing that the story of this project in france started of with a short, and what seemed like a somewhat random, email?

it teaches me to write more random emails reach out more often, to open up, to ask, to suggest. and it teaches me that I need to go against those heavy burden fears of mine as often as I possibly can.

second performance tonight, have a wonderful week you all.
