Make of It What You Will begins with a woman, a silver Mazda and a journey around the Iberian Peninsula. But it quickly stops being a simple road story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In these pages, a white peacock crosses a country road, passengers refuse to cooperate at a toll gate, a flamenco dancer seems to set the floor on fire, a dinner arrives under a glass cloud of smoke, a raft built from logs claims the Pacific, a castle wakes the desire to draw again, a night in the Basque hills turns every breath into a negotiation, and a man stops breathing exactly at four in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joanna Potepa, a Polish visual artist, writes in still frames: short, precise, open scenes where ordinary life changes angle without asking permission. Her gaze does not chase morals or neat explanations. It observes roads, rooms, animals, objects, losses, accidents and absurdities with the attention of someone who knows a life can transform in silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Moving between Spain, the United Kingdom and Poland, this book draws an intimate map of motion, memory and attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It is not a conventional novel. It is not a travel diary. It is not a tidy memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It is what happened.
