The world is hard.
Harder than it has to be.
For women. For mothers.
For daughters of mothers
who never learned to forgive.
For people with passports
that end up on the wrong desk.
For everyone who is loud
but still has no place.
We didn’t write a hero’s journey.
We collected contradictions.
In MATRÖSHKI it’s not about being tougher.
It’s about getting through, with backbone.
With humor.
And sometimes with an ice cream in your hand and an inner “f**k you” on your lips.
The world is hard.
But me? I’m a Matröshka.




















What makes a MATRÖSHKA?
A Matröshka is more than her origin.
She is layers, languages and fracture.
She lives between worlds.
Between the hard and the soft.
Between war and the desire for peace.
A Matröshka has no clear nationality.
But she has backbone.
She is what remains when belonging
begins to crumble.
A Matröshka doesn’t fit into any category.
And she will not be reduced to a cliché.
She is tougher than the world allows.
Or at least smarter.
