I met Réka in one of my favourite stores in Vienna. She’s been living here for seven years. She works as a shop assistant at NKD but she is also a very talented illustrator. Above all, she brights up the store with her radiant presence. There are many Hungarians living in Vienna and it is always a pleasure to suddenly realize: “I’m from Hungary too!”🥰
Erzsi néni / Aunt Erzsi working on her beautiful Kalocsai tablecloth. I could have sat next to her all day watching her create this amazing piece of art. She was so radiant and so generous of spirit❤️
Sisters, best friends, neighbours? Young Ukrainian women photographed some 100 years ago. Graceful costumes, beautiful jewellery, dignified people. Heritage carried on in souls.
Birthday admiration for some remarkable women of the Pre-Raphaelite and Arts & Crafts period❤️
Erszike and Erszike🥰, two wonderful souls who embody the beauty and love, the life and tradition of Kalocsa. I met them yesterday and enjoyed very much listening to how they talk about their heritage, how they carry in their everyday life what the word ‘Kalocsa’ means ❤️
