Why Galdruna Was Created – A Journey of Questioning

I was about six or seven years old when I asked my father a simple question: “Why do we live?” He paused for a moment and then replied, “To work.”

I remember feeling that something was missing in that answer. Not because it was wrong — work is part of life — but because it could not possibly be the whole reason we are here. That question stayed with me.

The Question That Never Left

Life moved on the way it does for most people. School, responsibilities, ambitions, achievements, mistakes. I learned how to function in the world like everyone else.

But somewhere beneath everything, that childhood question never disappeared. I did not spend my youth searching for answers in books or systems of thought. I simply carried the question quietly with me. Only much later, in adulthood, did I begin to understand that the question itself had been shaping the way I looked at the world all along.

Galdruna was not created as a brand, a trend, or a reaction. It emerged as a space for reflection, for questions that are often avoided, and for depth in a world that prefers speed.

Before any visible change in my life, there were subtle moments that began to shift my perception. I met someone who opened a door I did not know existed — a perspective beyond the surface of things. After that, for a long time, nothing dramatic happened. Life simply continued.

And yet, I began noticing patterns. Not miracles. Not revelations. Just moments that felt precise, timed, and meaningful. Recurring numbers appeared more often than coincidence would comfortably explain. Situations aligned in ways that invited attention. A book was placed at eye level in a children’s section where it clearly did not belong — and I had an immediate, undeniable sense that I needed to read it.

It was not spectacle. It was awareness.

There was a point when the repetition became difficult to ignore. I questioned whether it had meaning at all. When I looked into it, I found interpretations suggesting change — significant change. Whether coincidence or signal, what mattered was this: I was ready to transform.

Sometimes transformation does not begin with certainty. It begins with attention.

Galdruna is born from that attention. It is not a place of absolute answers. It is not a doctrine. It is not a promise of secret knowledge. It is a continuation of a question that began in childhood.

What Comes Next

The future of this project will unfold naturally. There will be reflections on life, death, consciousness, responsibility, and inner growth. There may be objects created with intention and meaning. But above all, there will be honesty.

Because perhaps the real answer to “Why do we live?” is not a sentence. Perhaps it is the courage to ask — and to keep asking.
