Monte Carlo, Monaco. I like to see things through, both visually and in action. I also like to see through things, like not getting distracted by insignificant details. At the Casino Monte Carlo through the water fountain I took this image. Somehow in the process, the design was titled ‘Flower Fontain’, a misspelling of the French. For a brief period, I was upset. But as long as you admit to the mistake, just let it pass and leave it be. So I did. 

This design makes me think of all the people who have difficulties with spelling and writing and how hard it is to always be corrected and the bad feeling of not being good enough. To a standard. I think of how we are divided and defined by our different qualities. I say: be proud of who you are and don’t be afraid of what others say. Pay more attention to what you tell yourself. Talk, think and act positive. There’s no such thing as an irreversible mistake in life.

The design is captured during lunch outdoors at the five-star Hotel De Paris in Monaco. In the garden of this beautiful and historic Hotel, a faded dandelion turned into what looks like fabulous flower feathers.

We all go through various stages in life. I like to think we are all equal and unique and beautiful at every one of those stages. The secret is to understand this and bear aging with pride and love for yourself. Use precious time wisely and remember: a kind heart or intelligence never stop being beautiful.

In the regal principality of Monaco is the beautiful Rose Garden, created by Prince Rainier III in the memory of his wife Princess Grace. Wandering around, literally smelling and viewing all the beautiful roses, is really overwhelming. It’s powerful, flowerful and you feel so much love inside. The flower on this Silk Square design is Princess Charlene of Monaco’s rose.

‘The Love Inside’ is about creating an inner life that feels good and allows you to unconditionally share your love. It’s amazing how love works when you dare to show it. Always be curious and open minded and the love inside will guide you to a better life.
