The book
How Life Feels… is not a novel. It is a literary journey told through poetry, short stories, and prose. As recurring symbols, shifting identities, and hidden connections emerge, some pieces quietly reshape the meaning of those before them.
It is read forwards and understood backwards.
The experience
Across four movements (Becoming, Longing, Falling, and Shifting) the book explores losing yourself, longing for life, love, identity, and the beauty that can still exist in darkness.
Six immersive QR experiences continue the journey beyond the printed page.

- Yes, you can read the book without them. However, the six QR experiences add another layer, and some moments only unfold there.
- Is it poetry or prose?
- It is both. You will find poems and short stories arranged across four movements: Becoming, Longing, Falling, and Shifting.
- What do the experiences ask of you?
- More than a book usually does. Some respond to touch. One asks you to choose, and not every choice takes you forward. More about the experiences.
- Is the book available in other languages?
