This year's theme of the residence is meaning. The question of meaning goes beyond the classical philosophical framework and runs through creativity, work and everyday relationships. As part of her stay, the author meets the Rijeka audience. From motivation letter I am applying to the Kamov Residence in Rijeka for two reasons. One is that I will need a bit of a break from my daily duties and two weeks of continuous work to complete the novel, which should then be in some final phase. Given that I have a large family (and a dog and a cat), and a lot of work and family obligations, I very rarely apply for residencies; but Rijeka is close to Zagreb, the time period is not too long, and that time would be valuable to me. The second motif is of a more literary nature, and concerns a fragment of my novel describing the launching of a ship in Rijeka's Škver. This ship is one of the main characters in the novel, so I would like to see some places and maybe talk to people who will give me…
