We decided that the tone of the cover should be realism: a difficult life, terrible trials, but again with hope, with the strength of those who live it. Ines Kavalec, Arijana Memic and Sedina Muhibić entrusted us with their life stories. And for that I am grateful. With all the adversities that have passed and are passing, responding to our call, going through your painful experiences once again, reminding yourself of life’s dramas, that is huge for me. And thank you, my dear Ines, Arijana and Sedina, for agreeing to be our cover faces”.
