2023—now

“The train won't go any further­—the wind.”
The train was traversing through the mountains, heading from one city to another. Suddenly, it came to a halt. The voice announced that the train wouldn't be able to proceed further due to the Wind. Thus, the train remained stationary for two days. This incident occurred during Katya's journey in Xinjiang, China in 2018. Since then, it has served as a catalyst for her contemplation on freedom, bound by the perpetually stuck train and the trapped travelers within.
