He never had to do anything to or with her. He just needed to exist.
In her own words:
There was this young girl in the mountains. She had a lot of fire in her and was very unusual, extremely dreamy, impractical, naive and stubborn. She was 14 when she saw a picture of a man and she fell in love with him. That picture led her to cross oceans, deserts, mountains and landscapes.
She has been obsessed for over 20 years and there looks to be no end in sight.
