Back to the light

Veronika Šedá

Annotation

In the heart of an inner courtyard on Albertov, in the street Na Slupi, lies a recovery house — a temporary home for the moments when life feels heavy. A place offering safety and calm when it’s time to slow down. A building designed like a lantern — delicate, semi-transparent, and quiet. A symbol of light that doesn’t dazzle, but gently invites. A light that says: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. The lantern carries meanings that echo across cultures. It is a symbol of hope, return, and quiet presence. Perhaps it was never truly hung on a porch as a sign to say "come home" — but that’s exactly why we can imagine it as a personal metaphor. As a light that shines in the darkness and waits. A silent signal that there is a place where you will be accepted just as you are.
