Inspiration

She was born in Bilbao, a proud city of proud people, and enjoyed the days her father took her by the hand, walking through the busy city streets. She would chat constantly to him as they walked, hand in hand, along the narrow streets in direction of the park. The street-side cafes, that at night were bustling with adults searching for the best tapas to go with their glasses of beer, were filled with pensioners during the daytime. It was coffee, tobacco and chatter mixed with the sound of banging dominos that filled her memory when walking alongside her father. Once in the park, surrounded by immense green trees, pretty flowers and the vast expanse of grass to play on, it always seemed unusual to her that the air, although fresh, had an underlying metallic scent to it. As a child, however, she was not aware of the importance that industrialisation had on the city she called home.

Scent
