They both just ooze coolness! Great talk and I love the initiative of asking artists to pick their faves. And lovely to present interpretation and information in dialogue form.

Thank you for your work! I'm from Ukraine and I was crying, when Alketa told her path and shew stories of people who suffered from war. I consider, that all those tyrants hate life and its beauty, and I have no idea, why they continue to live on our planet

Where is the quote about her having "control over her own being from"? I would appreciate anyone who knows telling me, where she said it. Beautiful video. Very touching and thought provoking. Thank you!
