Where Do We Go?

Kate Voronina

“Do you want to know my secret?” A little girl has to go with her mom on a mysterious trip, just as her best friend is about to tell her her big secret… What was the secret, is she continually asking herself, incapable of enjoying the journey. But slowly, as new sights and fabulous landscapes capture her attention, she gradually forgets about the secret and gets carried away by her imagination. Soon, mountains turn into gigantic animals and what started out as a boring day turns into a fantastic adventure…
A powerful story to remind us that we often cling to what seems important to us and stop noticing the beauty around us.

Kate Voronina was educated at the Moscow Academy of Art Academies of Art and the British Higher School of Design (BHSAD).
