Who we are is not always defined by where we live or grow-up , it is truly formed by the limits of our imaginations.  Living in a community that feels in decline and stagnant, Kaja looks to the skies for comfort and inspiration.

    Sometimes it seems to me that everything is going to collapse. The houses, grey from soot, and the broken pavements will fall on the mine corridors below. I live in a small town in Silesia, and at some point there might have been something interesting going on here, but it was so long ago, that it is long since buried in memory. It is neither pretty nor ugly. There is no heritage of previous generations, not even any hint of flair in the current ones. If not for the dead mine shafts protruding from below, my town might be located anywhere. Or perhaps here and there.
