hello stranger! my name is kora.
two years ago i left a lucrative but unfulfilling career behind and started backpacking across the world.
künstlerroaming is a visual memoir, travelogue & coming-of-age story.
as i journeyed across the continents, i encountered people, cultures, and experiences that broadened the scope of everything i knew. i changed, learned, and grew exponentially during this time.
i recently published my first book, a visual memoir that chronicles my year on the road – spanning five continents and twelve countries, from indonesia, sri lanka, and japan to berlin, el salvador, and peru.
the sea, the sky, the sun captures the emotional and sensory landscape of that liminal time through prose, photography, and journal fragments. it grapples with questions of identity, purpose, human connection, and the inevitable messiness of growing up.
it is the most personal thing i’ve ever made, and i can’t wait for you to read it.
last but not least… what does künstlerroaming mean?
künstlerroaming is a play on the german word künstlerroman and roaming.
künstlerroman comes from künstler (“artist”) and roman (“novel”): it represents an artist’s coming-of-age story.
künstlerroaming is mine.
