The Mirror

 The best self-reflection experience for me is walking. Alone. In unexpected places. Those photos are from my migration experience of living in Southern Germany. At this time I was analyzing the space around me and also myself in the new context. The place I was living in is called Bodensee, because of the lake. Bodensee (or lake Constance) is located between Austria, Germany, and Switzerland and it is the third largest lake in Central Europe. It also has an exceptional geopolitical aspect - this is the only place in Europe where there aren’t any borders since no legally binding agreements exist regarding the exact border line separating the lake. This creates a space which does not belong to any nation. While walking there I could notice some interesting, maybe even magic details, which are usually part of the space. Huge lonely tree, stranger having a night walk, dead (or sleeping) squirrel, the line of horizon or neighbor working in her garden at completely darkness. Those details were part of day-to-day living and slowly became my everyday mirror, which helps to understand who I am.
