Carina's big question series is phenomenal. I didn't realize it would be a series, but it seems to be, and more power to her. (I think her questions are invading my dreams--in a good, stimulating way.) This is a beautiful piece! Glad you blogged it, Svenja.

Beautiful! I love that handwriting and the way it is combined with the photo!
