“Discovering Rilke's works was an instant connection for me. And as I immersed myself in the unfolding of his life, it felt like this wonderful circle closed perfectly around what embodies a truly great artist – seeing their own life as a faithful composition reflecting their very essence, the same essence you find in their works. Witnessing that existential ethic where thought and action are one is just breathtaking, and so rare to encounter these days. For me, Rilke is the friend we all wish we had, the lover we'd always return to, the aspiration we should all strive for.”
