This is a specific form of wanderlust \u2013 a craving for a distant land or a deep feeling of \u2018homesickness\u2019 for a place we have never seen. We imagine distant places through small fragments: everyday life seen elsewhere. We are going through a strange sensation of disorientation, something magical seen from far away. We fall in love with this fragment. It holds the promise for more.
