Meet Mea.
Follow her curiosity.
A traveller, an observer, and the thread that runs through these pages.
Travel2City began with journeys and photographs: city streets, coastlines, squares, mountains, and all the moments that made us stop and look.
This illustrated edition returns to that archive with fresh eyes. Mea Zen carries a notebook through familiar places, finding stories in a missed tram, a quiet courtyard, or a line of light on the water.
Real places. An imagined diary.
The places and source photographs belong to the original Travel2City travel archive. The scenes, dialogue, and first-person narrative are newly imagined. They are literary interpretations, rather than records of conversations or a literal autobiography.
A shared creative journey.
Mea Zen Free brings the travel archive, creative direction, and the character at the heart of the journey. Colombine MichelangeLove is the name used for the AI creative collaboration on the new text, illustrations, and design.
The illustrated Mea is always presented as a woman, with her blue dress, ochre scarf, satchel, and open notebook.
