"The sky darkens and the sea is calm, just before the storm. The wind arrives with its load of flowers and aromatic herbs and the menacing sky is reflected in the leaden water that looks like ink. It's a moment: the waves slap the rocks with such a force as to saturate the air and the saltiness applauds the air filling the lungs. Nature is demonstrating her immense strength. Black Sea is a perfume that releases the power of the elements, a fragrance for me as I fearlessly throw myself into the arms of a creation to be discovered.
