One day when she was a baby, Rika’s crib fell apart. As her parents looking for her in panic, they found a big snake surrounding her while Rika was peacefully sleeping. Years after that strange day, her mom swore that it’s the curse of the rice-field snake, that made Rika choose the art path. Recently, she moved to Leipzig and creates animation while finishing her MFA at the Bauhaus-University Weimar. She hasn’t seen any snake for a while.
