“Would you like to know a secret? Almost no one knows that all the clouds we see in the sky come from the same place. The brothers Korky and Nimbus are older than time itself – yet everyday, they sit in their floating pavilion and do what they love most, telling each other stories while…
Introduction to the series “Letters to Amilia” ist a story told through text and images. While the text conveys the voice of the father, the images show the emotional response of the daughter. This text-image duality matches perfectly the story’s characters: A father who’s voice is still strong even though he’s is no physically absent. And…
