The sea enchants, the sea kills, it moves, it frightens, it also makes you laugh sometimes, it disappears every now and then, it disguises itself as a lake, or it constructs tempests, devours ships, gives away riches, it gives no answers, it is wise, it is gentle, it is powerful, it is unpredictable. But, above all, the sea calls.

Ocean Sea by Alessandro Baricco – 1999

A free woman is seldom accompanied. This inner solitude is the result of an exterior pressured by a world that does not often recognise her legitimacy. Loneliness distracts away from the easy path of conformity and allows way to struggle along the path of freedom and disobedience. However, living a life for oneself without being held back is not without its obstacles and risks, given the temptation to sink between the abyss.
