Off Script, On Track

​

She works from the floor —

between workers and guests,

between labour and the jet set.

 

When business was low in 2023 —

no home, no income, no clear way forward —

she didn’t wait for safety or recognition.

She chose life: service, people, sun, real places.

 

A woman in her late fifties chose the floor over the desk.

Inside iconic and magical restaurants —

in Ibiza, Amsterdam, Lamu.

Not as a guest, but as a worker.

 

She moves where others look away.

She is a presence, both witness and player.
