Zgodbo o Silvi sem se odločila narediti, ker se toliko ljudi sooča z rakom posredno ali neposredno in sem skozi izkušnjo Silve dala na plano zgodbo upanja. Silva, ki je raka na dojki premagala, danes pomaga drugim, ki gredo skozi podobno izkušnjo: SILVA.
I decided to do a story about a woman named Silva because so many people are dealing with cancer, and I wanted to give them a story of hope. Silva is also a volunteer in the Association of Oncology Patients of Slovenia, where she helps women who go through a similar experience: SILVA.

Fotografije so nastale v sklopu 2. protestnega shoda, ki se je zgodil novembra 2012, v mirnem mestecu ob Dravi, Mariboru. Demonstracije so se nato razširile kot plamen po celotni državi v znak nezadovoljstva proti takratni vladi: DEMONSTRACIJE.
Photographies were made in 2012, during 2. peaceful demonstration in a quiet little city Maribor (in Slovenia), against major of the city Franc Kangler. The protest spread around the country like a flame against the current government: DEMONSTRATIONS.

Zame, so drevesa največji učitelji in veliki modreci, ki nas med drugim učijo miru, prisotnosti in transformacije. Hkrati pa so tudi ogledalo družbe in odsevajo na kateri stopnji razvoja se nahaja človeštvo. Z drevesi smo izjemno povezani, njihov izdih je naš vdih, naš izdih je njihov vdih. Pozitivni učinki dreves na človeka pa sedaj vedno bolj prihajajo v ospredje in s tem znanja ter informacije, ki so jih naši predniki intuitivno zaznali: PORTRETI DREVES.
For me, trees are the greatest teachers and “wise man” who, among others, teach us peace, presence, and transformation. At the same time, they are a mirror of society and reflect the level of human development and awareness. We are extremely connected to trees, their exhale is our breath and our exhale is their breath. And the positive effects trees have on humans, came to life due to the measurement made with technology and with that the knowledge that our ancestors knew intuitively: PORTRAIT OF TREES.

Objeti v tišino lahkotneje slišimo zvok narave, svetega mesta, ptice ali katere druge živali. Zvok srca in dih bitja, vse to se zgodi, ko tišina spregovori. In govori nam zgodbe o velikih stvaritvah in izjemni lepoti, svetih mestih in magičnih svetovih, o ljubečih odnosih in skritih zakladih, Božanskih napojih in Ljubezenskih molitvah. Iz tišine rodil se je zvok, ki podaja naprej vso modrost. Vse to se zgodi KO TIŠINA SPREGOVORI.
Embraced in silence, we can hear more lightly the sound of nature, of a sacred place, of birds or other animals. A heart’s beat and a creature’s breath, all this appears when silence speaks. And it tells stories of magnificent creations and exceptional beauty, of sacred places and magical worlds, of loving relations and hidden treasures, of Divine Potions and Love Prayers. The sound has been born of silence, passing all the wisdom onwards. And all this appears WHEN SILENCE SPEAKS.

Vile, ki s svojo lepoto in karizmo nosijo ne samo vpogled v neki drugi čas, so zame tudi arhitekturni biser. Ko sem jih občudovala, sem se spraševala, le kakšno zgodbo nosijo. In tako se je začelo raziskovanje ne samo hiš in zgodb ljudi iz drugega časa, ampak predvsem spoznavanje mesta: VILE V MARIBORU.
With beauty and charisma, Villa is to me not only insight from another time but also an architectural pearl. I admired them and so often wondered what kind of story it will reveal. So I began to research not only the story of houses and people who lived there but also the place where I was born: VILLA IN MARIBOR.
