"In this series, the quest for roots takes center stage. It began with a personal journey but is ideally also universally recognizable. The journey goes far back in time, focusing on the first Neanderthal dwellings of my birthplace. It's about survival, migration, claiming a place, and losing it again. Ultimately, we have no right to the land we temporarily inhabit here."
