“Sola” begins with the narration of a dream in luminous shapes and colours – a utopian place of refuge. But like in a moment of awakening, the harmonious ideal breaks against a reality that offers neither security nor confidence. It is a reality in which crises like climate change threaten the fragile balance of the environment and call the certainties of our everyday lives into question.
