Kinugs of the body

In front of you is a small novel in which I tried to talk about significant things. The fact that we are most often silent, because it is akin to a taboo is to talk about a woman out loud, about her intimacy, her true nature, emphasizing that she is also from flesh and blood, but at the same time limited and due to the body and those roles that he is attributed. About what the woman is capable of, about what she can and what is not possible. The impossibility for a woman to find out who she is actually, due to her dependence on public models, on the family and on the place that she is prepared in advance. About the body - this story is also about the body, perhaps even more than about everything else: the story of the body. The body is the most wise, most sincere part of us.
This story is also about cancer, about cut breasts and chemotherapy, about the objectification of the body, which is intensely engaged in many hands. When the embryos of the pains sown in childhood, for years, are cultivated in us as a deviation, as an inability to fit into the world, like weeds, everything else is corroded in us - then the body chooses the disease.
First of all, this is a story about life.
