Giulia had always been drawn to the water's edge. Growing up in France she had spent countless hours by the Seine watching boats float lazily across its surface. As an adult she continued this habit wherever she travelled. She found solace in the rhythmic lapping of waves against the shore, the gentle rocking motion it provided her body and the way it connected her to the natural world.
