Luisa (lying):I feel safe when there’s no judgement, no envy, when there’s trust, support and a deep understanding. My safe space isn’t a place. My safe space is my Cemi.

Cemre (sitting): Mutually, Luisa is my safe space. With her, I feel secure enough to be free-spirited and curious, to think differently, to step out of my comfort zone into the unknown. At the same time, she is my shelter, where I can be quiet, rest, and feel held when uncertainty makes me vulnerable. With her, I am at ease between movement and stillness, and able to explore and return.
