21Day

The project was created within the framework of author Ekaterina Vasilieva’s training courses. For 21 days one had to become “obsessed”, to perform one and the same invented ritual.

Our lives are made up of small and big rituals — they structure it.

Being in a new country for the first few months, I was looking for new footholds, artificially creating a routine for myself to feel confident and safe.

Thinking about what asks for my joy and comfort, I started taking daily walks along the beach, building pyramids of stones for 21 days.

Taking the idea of balance as the basis of the ritual, I was finding a way out of my experiences and finding harmony with myself.

There was no clear planned action: I chose the stones by color, shape, structure and the very location in the moment.

During this time I walked 133,7 kilometers 165320 steps.
