Night after night I wandered around and recognized myself within the idea of universal decay, which, however, already carries within itself the seed of a new world order. (After Elena Ferrante – The Story of the Lost Child)

The solo Meals I Already Cooked is a first part of trilogy.

Noč za nočjo sem tavala okrog in se prepoznavala v ideji o vsesplošnem razkroju, ki pa v sebi že nosi seme nove ureditve sveta. (Elena Ferrante – O izgubljeni deklici)

Avtorski solo Vse kar se je že zgodilo je prvi del trilogije.
