I´m looking forward to work with you.

I now live and work in Costa Rica but lived and studied for some time in Italy.

Being a migrant  has made me grow and learn, but mainly understand better where I come from, see things with a different perspective.

Greetings again!

Julieta

More or less “the lowlands”  always been my home. I traveled around the world  for months to study, for weeks to celebrate holiday, for some days to see an exhibition. I always came back.

I like to “cyber” travel with you the coming months in Costa Rica! I am looking forward to do this project!

A veces extraño mi hogar y me doy cuenta que ESTOY en el lugar donde nací… Entonces vuelvo a ver el agua, Es siempre la misma agua donde quiera que vaya. Saben, probablemente si lo sea…

Qualche volte mi manca la mia casa e mi rendo conto che STO dove sono nata… Poi guardo l´acqua. e sempre la stessa acqua ovunque… Sai, probabilmente sia davvero la stessa.

Missing is not the right word for me. Being somewhere else means a fully awareness of my new surroundings in all senses. The funny thing is when I come home I notice that the so typical Finnish tree is the same as the one that is in front of my house, but I have never seen it before…

But also me; I am part of the city and I daydream; I am thinking one thought to another;  conscious about traffic, unconscious collecting images, colors, ideas and desires.

Yesterday I took some photo’s when cycling. Daily life in fragments, map of flowing thoughts, movements frozen in time.
