"To have reached the summit of a far-flung eruptingvolcano, to see my footprints in pristine cinereous powderthat a day before had been viscous magma in the Earth’sinterior,[...] brought a self-awareness that was new to me.A nomadism and curiosity that still influence my careerwere ignited beside this expressive, mysterious crater.Volcanoes were now engrained in my story." [Ili Boleng]
