“I witness my first spring in Lisbon, I discover new faces, new trees, new flowers, new bushes, new birds. Next year, they’ll already be familiar. The sequences featuring the events of nature are early and fast here, the vegetation is lush and flowery. The cherry tree under my bedroom window was already in bloom early March, the flowers fell to the ground in April. In a city, each straw of grass on a sidewalk, each small pot on a balcony, each flower, each tree, each waste ground is invaluable.”
