Since I became nomadic, my work and creative processes have been deeply influenced by my travel experiences. This piece brings together various ideas and feelings around travel, that I have experienced myself, and through reading travel-related literature that has impacted me. Below are the writers and their respective works that are referenced in the artwork:
• Baudelaire - 'L'invitation au voyage', Les Fleurs du Mal (1857)
