Selena Sulak

My name is Selena Lalanne Sulak, but my friends call me fish. I live in Perth Australia, I was born in Paris 19 years ago. I moved to Los Angeles when I was 12 years old, and after 2 years, I was studying at the British School of Costa Rica. I moved a lot around my world.My family isn't what you would call “Traditional”. We don’t have our own furniture and we haven’t spent more than two years in the same country in ten years. However this life of adventure and confusion has allowed me to live and see those few years more than some people do in a lifetime. Life is short, and opportunities are rare and we have to be vigilant not to miss them, or let them pass by because we were not paying attention. And not only with the opportunities to succeed but the opportunities to laugh, to see the enchantment in the world and to live our lives instead of watching them go by. Because life doesn't owe us anything, as a matter of fact, I think we owe something to life. We owe it to be great, to be the best versions of ourselves. As everyone else on this planet, I have hopes and ambitions. I have dreams. My father is a well-known Artist in Europe, and for a long time I wanted to follow in his footsteps. I wanted to be a singer. I saw how he helped and reached people with his words and I wanted to do the same. To change someone’s day just with a melody! But somewhere along the line I realized it wasn't for me. Even though my love for music remains my future doesn't lay there. I have had time to see my sisters grow as individuals and artists and they've amazed me. They both had a gift, a passion that I envied. One of my sister dances like an angel and the other one acts like a goddess. And in their arts I found my own, theatre, as it did for my mother spoke to me. Creating a whole new world with only your words, I found, watching my sister acting a new universe. As I had found in music years before: a way to create a new world. There is no rule or barriers when it comes to theatre. But still something was missing. I am not a realistic person. My mind wonders in million of different universes and myths. I do not believe that only the moon rules at night. I don’t believe science can explain to us what the world has so cleverly hidden. And one day, no questions asked, I wrote. I wrote my heart out. To free myself from frustrations maybe, or maybe just because, finally, I had found it, my art, my own. What I had wanted for all these years, what I had seen my sisters find
