surprise gift.



came back to my room to find this laying on the table. a nice neighbor gave this as a graduation gift. it's really hard to tell what is it at first sight, but then you can tell that it portrays "defining" points in Prishtina. but it also sets this mythical and almost medieval tone to Prishtina - which is not actually right, or is it? last night's movie made me think a lot about the city, and my perspective about it. This hand-made gypsum piece reminds me of wooden artifacts that my grandparents used to hang on walls. you don't see these things decorating any walls these days, but only occasionally.

it's nice to receive gifts, any kind, even this kind.
it's just that some gifts can be displayed on the wall, and others should be put away as silent reminders.

thank you neighbor for your kindness.
