Everyday quests—such as learning to let go of circumstances that no longer illuminate our path—become acts of quiet resistance. From these small but decisive gestures emerges a new generation: fighters who choose peace, warriors who wield words rather than weapons.
Through language, the work imagines poetry as a form of care, capable of reaching and healing hardened or wounded hearts. It celebrates inner courage over force, and transformation over conquest, suggesting that the most meaningful struggles are often the most intimate ones.
The project is part of the subtheme The Poetics of Care – Intimacy, Tenderness, Repair.
