Story Show Your Hope: while growing up in the 60s in former Yugoslavia, my grandfather played an important role in my life. As my father and mother lived in a small house and worked every day, concequently I spend the first years of my life, along with my cousins, at my grandperants in a grey high rise in Siska. When my Grandmother passed away and my cousinds were getting older, my grandfather and I spend a lot of time together. He really enjoyed repaintings the walls. Every few weeks we would mix a new colour of paint and, without ever moving the furniture, we'd repaint the walls. This is how my granddad and I would make variaties on the gray days as they were, and in a way we expressed our hope for a more colourfull future.
