Abstract

We live in a fast-paced world, a world of progress, a world of speed and chaos. And when we feel the burnout, the stress, the heavy weight on our shoulders, we seek solace in our desires and imagination – to escape, to slow down, and to find relief and grounding elsewhere so as not to lose ourselves.
