“Now I am standing here in front of this painting. This monster with a birch tree that has taken over my living room wall. Carefully tracing the trunk of the tree with my fingers. Feeling this cracked, painted bark beneath my fingertips.
And somewhere, deep down inside, a feeling arises, tentatively asking whether I might be part of something after all.”

A pause.
A confession.

And sometimes –
sometimes that is already enough for a small, different smile.

Home.“
