S sabo nosim svet/ I Carry The World With Me

The book speaks to those who find themselves in repeating cycles of being lost in the world and searching and finding their place in the world.

Feeling of being lost, doubts about the meaning and purpose in life and ones place in the world, which constantly ciclicaly switch with the feeling of belonging, feeling of things being just right and the feeling that one knows what they do with their life. It is more about the personal experience than the world in itself: an experience coming from events, relationships and reactions to my personal life.

The story is told through illustrations, text and book form itself. The book is bound in such a way that it has no beginning or end – the reading is cyclical, which is part of repetitive cycle of life. Narrative begins wherever the page first opens. By interracting with the book – a globe – the reader interacts with the world as a metaphor, while thinking about their relationship to the world around them.
