"Why coal, pardon, kuolm?"

"Why exactly coal, pardon, kuolm, were you in some mine?"
'premoga, in what way does it inspire you?'
"Every artist somehow comes from their own world. I myself come from Zasavje."
'As a little girl, I lived in a mining colony and I remember all the women who lived there,'
how the bread was baked in a group and what the smell of the atmosphere was like.
My grandfather was a miner, and as a child, I used to steal pieces of coal from the "kuolmkište" and play that they were black jewels.

'that a person cannot see the forest for the trees.'
"When I took coal in my hands as an adult, I got the image of my jewels again, and as a jewelry designer, time was then just the factor."

"Cash, which was tailored to me and personal. Full of everything I wanted to say. Now I create with it and I think we have a long way ahead of us."

Remembering the old days is not something that needs to be left behind, but rather something that gives us identity, value, and substance. I believe there are many people in the world,
that feels so and connects all of us with coal.
"Above all, it has its own story, which is longer than that of humans - it is part of nature, these are the trees that, in their last sighs, experienced a rebirth instead of death."
'she transformed and lived anew.'
 The coal that I love has found meaning again. And so have I.
