''she suddenly found herself in a landscape of icy welcomes. surrounded by a dull darkness blurring her sight. full of ideas for places with light to see her creations. little utopias from her books and beliefs. while she was wandering around streets made for cars not for people. searching the warmth of the human inventions, accompanying hers. the flickers of their light, the heat of their radiation, the colours nature cannot produce.'' -Valesca Noemi
