I landed in Beijing the 23rd of August 2017.

When I took my first steps in the Forbidden City, all I could see was a blurred image of something I remembered from looking at photographs,
books and online.

For the first time, I faced a severe panic attack.

Sometimes you observe and sometimes you’re being observed.
It’s almost like seeing through a glass that distorts what your eyes see, that makes the light flicker in front of you second after second
and inserts you in a completely different world.

And suddenly you are on the other side of that glass.
You cannot hear what others say, but you can feel the sweet cuddle
of the water that surrounds you.

Aquarium is the result of a quiet abandonment to self discovery.
