Jakuta Alikavazovic chose the Louvre, keeping company with the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa. For her, this night was a way of reconnecting with her father, who often took her to the museum and always asked: <em>&#8220;And you, how would you go about stealing the Mona Lisa?&#8221;<\/em> Through this experience, she reflects on her complex relationship with him\u2014her attempts to distance herself, only to find herself back where it all began. She also offers a poignant meditation on art, questioning the paradox of the Mona Lisa being protected by bulletproof glass while human lives in her homeland are treated as disposable. This is a deeply tender and intimate book, exploring memory, loss, and the value of art.<br><br><em>&#8220;I should, I suppose, begin with love. A feeling like a sky inside of us. And, like a sky, ever changing. Love and the shapes we try to give it. To conjure it. To hold it still. To hold it still is to betray it: it moves on, always. The feeling changes, or the shape it took for us. A body, a face, now aged. That tomorrow will no longer exist. Sometimes love lives on, alone.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-colibri-color-4-color\">Original title : Comme un ciel en nous<br>Translated from French<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This book is part of the French series Ma nuit au mus\u00e9e, in which an author spends a night in a museum of their choice.
