About Me

Diaspora kid, Croatian brain, international address—expect sharp, affectionate essays on our beautifully complicated mentality.

An overstuffed, slightly outdated living room sofa in a Croatian apartment, its patterned fabric gently faded, covered with a mix of mismatched cushions and a carefully folded woolen blanket. On the low coffee table in front, several open notebooks, a laptop with a half-written email visible on the screen, and a mug with a cold, untouched coffee ring suggest an ongoing work-from-home struggle. Late evening lamplight from a single floor lamp casts warm, intimate light, creating soft, elongated shadows. The television in the background glows faintly with a blurred news broadcast. Photographic realism, shot from a slightly elevated angle, emphasizing the blend of comfort, domestic chaos, and subtle satire about work-life balance.
