**🦕 writing about things** and whatnot for more than a decade at my own platform ****thedominica.sk (slovak only)

🪐 in my free time interested in exploring sound narratives, the beauty and ugliness of everyday (things), protopias, uncomfortable conversations, boredom, arthouse cinema, and people doing things with passion. taking pictures of literally everything, reading exhaustingly, and dreaming accordingly. but after all, just a fortuitous constellation of atoms that have chosen to resist entropy for a few moments within cosmic eternity
