‘Namibia’ came into being after I watched a few clips about this country. I was deeply moved by the story of the Himba African tribe from Namibia. For us ‘civilized’ people, it would be difficult to live like that. I was impressed by how the tribe members sustain themselves solely on goat milk, goat milk yogurt, and polenta… all day long! Fascinating. The people there are a real example for all of us, those who have become embittered and alienated from ourselves in the first place. There is my specific dose of melancholy precisely for this reason: We should be more united and more loving towards one another!
With love, Gabriel ❤
