Embark on a journey through time and memory with "I Love Ruins," a poignant blend of memoir and reflection. Discover the enchanting beauty of Ireland's Dunboy Castle on the Beara Peninsula, as it once was – a stunning ruin surrounded by a meadow of grazing cows, before its transformation into a modern hotel.

Explore the allure of ruins and their power to connect us to the past, while imparting valuable lessons on the importance of embracing imperfection in the present. As we delve into the narrator's personal experiences and musings, we uncover the transformative potential of ruins, inviting us to reflect on our own histories and the marks they leave on our lives.

Written and recorded by Anja Kersten, an artist, coach, and creative force, "I Love Ruins" is a heartfelt ode to the timeless charm of abandoned structures and their ability to remind us of our shared humanity. Featuring music composed by the talented Chelsea Edwardson, this evocative piece invites you to appreciate the beauty in the broken and the stories held within the crumbling walls of history.
