Since the time when this project was last updated (2014), many things have changed in the world and we are assisting to a dramatic increase in the number of the refugees trying to get through Europe doors, that meanwhile are becoming smaller and smaller.
I'm very well aware that our european society is faced with new, difficult challenges but with this project I would still like to dream about Europe as an open land that can be home for those who are looking for a better life as well as for those who are running away from the war.

Felix was born in Hong Kong where she used to be a fashion merchandiser.
She has lived in Australia for two years doing several different jobs and traveling through its national parks. 2012 she moves to Germany where she is now struggling for the visa because her work in the customer service is considered not strategic for the economic growth.
