"Badge 1, Black: There is always some Black paint around me. It belongs to my usual landscape. It was time pay some kind of tribute to it. Badge 2, Miller's: An image rescued from my memory. Since I can remember I always loved supermarkets. I still remember when I was child – everytime we were going to the mall I got so excited! Badge 3, Ape: When I was nine years old my parents moved me to a new school. My new school mates changed my name from Gre-gori to Gori-la. I did not mind, I always loved apes. Badge 4, Van: Every single Friday, it is parked in my way when I take my daughters to school. It’s gorgeous, isn’t it? Old vans forever!"
