Venice
The screen filters the lagoon and allows only a few things to go through: small boats, gondolas, birds and wind
Lo schermo filtra la laguna e lascia passare solo i sandoli, le gondole, gli uccelli e il vento.
Torino
birds and wind are breaking the silence of the place I was used to call home
Gli uccelli e il vento rompevano il silenzio del posto che chiamavo casa
Across Italy
call home a bit more often because mum is worried
Chiama casa un po’ piu’ spesso perche’ la mamma si preoccupa
Prishtina
mom is worried because we breathe coal every minute during the winter season. Our world has become grey, and getting raised in communist ex Yugoslavia makes things even worse. We need colors, we need lights, we need healthy life, we need hope
Nana po brengoset se po na ngulfatë djegja e qymyrit gjatë dimrit. Bota na u ka ba’ ngjyrë hini, e fakti që jemi rritë në ish yugosllavi nuk na ndihmon aspak, veq edhe ma keq e bon situatën. Kemi nevojë për ngjyra, për drita, për jetë të shëndetshme. Kemi nevojë për shpresë.
Palmyra
we need hope for cities that have fallen to rise
الأمل لمدن سقطت بأن تعود
Aleppo
to rise a civilization, we should start to accept each other
لبناء حضارة , يجب علينا أولاً أن نبدأ بتقبل بعضنا الآخر
Yaffa
accept each other within the diaspora
تقبلو بعضكم البعض في الشتات
Alexandria
within the diaspora, we are just breathing
داخل الشتات، نحن فقط نتنفس
Persian Gulf
breathing the fumes of attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. Those moments are now all intertwined
Ho respirato i fumi di navi da combattimento in fiamme al largo dei bastioni di Orione, ho visto i raggi B balenare nel buio vicino alle porte di Tannhäuser. Quei momenti sono ora tutti intrecciati
Dubai
all intertwined like the present, the future and the past
الماضي و المستقبل و الحاضر مختلطين ببعض
Doha
the past follows the trails of mountain wolves
شبكة
Grozny
mountain wolves, cold valleys, green grass and dense clouds
Йаккхи марханаш, баьццир буц, Шийла лаьмнаш, Ломан берзлой
Lahore
dense clouds and dewy mornings etch my memories in absolute beauty and harmony
گھنے بادل اور شبنمی صبح رکھیں مری یادوں کو تروتازہ
Mumbai
beauty and harmony are endless in a land that can fulfill all your possibilities
विविधता, सौंदर्य और सद्भाव की भूमि में आपकी संभावनाएं अनंत होंगी
Dhaka
your possibilities are like an open field that wants to be explored. Obscurity will not stop us. We are not scared
অজানা থেকে ভয় পাবেন না, তোমার সম্ভাব্না খুঁজে বের করো।
Beijing
we are not scared to live together, like sound and silence. Sometimes intimately connected, sometimes respectfully apart from each other
彼此之间，如果我们想生活在一起，就像声音和寂静， 我们不仅需要相互联系，而且也需要彼此不被打扰。
Richmond
each other bonded, without boundaries imposed upon ourselves, we are all connected by nature
Seoul
nature and human decoded by the beauty of mathematics which will open all closed doors
连接人与自然的数学之美，打开紧闭的沟通之门
Seoul
closed doors with a flimsy lock dividing two countries
두 나라의 관계는 헐렁한 문과 같다
North of Seoul
