Elona

Elona's personal portfolio

Elona, ​​(pseudonym) of Albanian origin, has made Bologna her home since 1999, choosing to work as an intercultural mediator. His personal story is an epic of resilience, fleeing his home country due to the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.

In a moment of extreme fragility, Elona found herself facing an illness, which not only undermined her body, but also put her inner strength to the test.

But in this moment of crisis, when it seemed that fate had turned its back on her, Elona discovered a light in poetry. It is as if the art of words had manifested itself as a lifeline, a "tool" that allowed her to give voice to deep emotions. Poetry becomes a refuge where he can explore and share his most intimate fears, hopes, and struggles. His pen becomes a weapon against despair, a way to express the beauty hidden in his suffering. Each poem is a small step towards healing, an act of courage in confronting the challenges he has faced throughout his life.

Discovering poetry as a travel companion, Elona transforms her fragility into a strength, demonstrating that even in the darkest moments of life, creativity and art can be a source of inspiration.
