What Baltic Square tells us:

I am the stone, I am a forgotten beer can, a moss, a water droplet

I am the wind, the water, the wind, a cloud

I am forget-me-not, a weed, the grass, the little ant

I am the river, the grass, a spider, a moss 

I am the stone, a pigeon’s feather, the bridge, a seagull

I am wind, a heart shape with eyes and legs, an arugula

I am the cloud, a suitcase, a brown trout

I am the sky, the wind

I am the stone, seagull, the wind, water

I am the clouds, a sticker, the wind

I am a seagull, a wheel, a feather

I am wind, a little grass, a moss

I am the wind

I am the stone
